Giant viral signatures on the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]

Microbiome
Background Dark pigmented snow and glacier ice algae on glaciers and ice sheets contribute to accelerating melt. The biological controls on these algae, particularly the role of viruses, remain poorly understood.

Identification of a Potential Entry-Fusion Complex Based on Sequence Homology of African Swine Fever and Vaccinia Virus [PDF]

Viruses
African swine fever virus (ASFV) belongs to the family of Asfarviridae, part of the group of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV). Little is known about the internalization of ASFV in the host cell and the fusion membrane events that take place at

Characterization of Medusavirus encoded histones reveals nucleosome-like structures and a unique linker histone [PDF]

Nature Communications
The organization of DNA into nucleosomes is a ubiquitous and ancestral feature that was once thought to be exclusive to the eukaryotic domain of life. Intriguingly, several representatives of the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) encode histone-

ViralRecall—A Flexible Command-Line Tool for the Detection of Giant Virus Signatures in ‘Omic Data

Viruses, 2021
Giant viruses are widespread in the biosphere and play important roles in biogeochemical cycling and host genome evolution. Also known as nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), these eukaryotic viruses harbor the largest and most complex viral ...

Metatranscriptomics reveals a shift in microbial community composition and function during summer months in a coastal marine environment

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 920-933, September 2023., 2023
The composition and microbial activity of marine water is expected to vary with seasons and abiotic variables. To characterize both the microbial compositional and functional changes associated with abiotic factors such as pH, temperature, alkalinity, aragonite, calcite and pCO2, here we generate a reference metatranscriptome from the Strait of Georgia,

Tracing the Origin of Genotype II African Swine Fever Virus in China by Genomic Epidemiology Analysis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The pandemic spread of African swine fever (ASF) has caused serious effects on the global pig industry. Virus genome sequencing and genomic epidemiology analysis play an important role in tracking the outbreaks of the disease and tracing the transmission of the virus.

Bacteriophages pass through candle‐shaped porous ceramic filters: Application for the collection of viruses in soil water

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
This study proposes to use porous candles as a new tool for collecting soil water viruses. In the first step, the passage of model viruses through the ceramic part of the candles was investigated. Regarding the field application, the experiments carried out showed a successful recovery of viruses, demonstrating the relevance and efficiency of such a ...
