Diversity, Function and Activity of DNA Viruses in the Qiangyong Proglacial Lake Sediment, the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study identified DNA viruses from Qiangyong proglacial lake sediments on the Tibetan Plateau, revealing a highly diverse and previously uncharacterized viral community. These viruses influence microbial community structure and function by infecting key nutrient‐transforming taxa and encoding auxiliary metabolic genes that modulate host metabolism.

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

The Viral Fraction Metatranscriptomes of Lake Baikal

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
This article characterises viral fraction metatranscriptomes (smaller than 0.2 µm) from the pelagic zone of oligotrophic Lake Baikal (Russia). The study revealed the dominance of transcripts of DNA viruses: bacteriophages and algal viruses. We identified

Detection of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in Haematopinus suis: Evidence for a Potential New Sylvatic Cycle of ASFV Involving Lice and Domestic Pigs

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) is a lethal and highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild pigs, listed as a notifiable disease to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). In the absence of any credible commercially available vaccine, the economic losses to the global pig industry inflicted by ASF is insurmountable.

Poxvirus Host Range Genes and Virus–Host Spectrum: A Critical Review

open access: yesViruses, 2017
The Poxviridae family is comprised of double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV). Among the NCLDV, poxviruses exhibit the widest known host range, which is likely observed because this viral family has been more ...

Diverse Trajectories Drive the Expression of a Giant Virus in the Oomycete Plant Pathogen Phytophthora parasitica

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Giant viruses of amoebas, recently classified in the class Megaviricetes, are a group of viruses that can infect major eukaryotic lineages. We previously identified a set of giant virus sequences in the genome of Phytophthora parasitica, an oomycete and ...

Mapping the transcriptional landscape of algal resistance to viral infection reveals a core expression program

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1368-1384, November 2025.
Summary Algal blooms and their demise by viruses drive global‐scale ecological processes in the ocean. These blooms form the foundation of marine food webs, regulate microbial communities, and shape biogeochemical cycles. Although algal populations are constantly infected by viruses, resistant subpopulations frequently emerge after the infection.

SKP1‐CUL1‐F‐box: Key molecular targets affecting disease progression

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 2, 31 January 2025.
SCF complexes are widely involved in intracellular metabolism. In this paper, we discuss the diverse effects of SCF on crucial cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, cell migration, biological rhythms, DNA replication, cell differentiation, cell, apoptosis, immune response, and disease occurrence.
