Informational gene phylogenies do not support a fourth domain of life for nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Mimivirus is a nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) with a genome size (1.2 Mb) and coding capacity ( 1000 genes) comparable to that of some cellular organisms.

Coral Bleaching Phenotypes Associated With Differential Abundances of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophage have been implicated in disease and bleaching in corals, but the compositional and functional diversity of these viruses in healthy and compromised hosts remains underexplored. To investigate whether viral assemblages

Phylogenetic evidence for extensive lateral acquisition of cellular genes by Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDV), a diverse group that infects a wide range of eukaryotic hosts, exhibit a large heterogeneity in genome size (between 100 kb and 1.2 Mb) but have been suggested to form a monophyletic group on the ...

A New Family of DNA Viruses Causing Disease in Crustaceans from Diverse Aquatic Biomes

mBio, 2020
Panulirus argus virus 1 (PaV1) is the only known virus infecting the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) from the Caribbean Sea. Recently, related viruses, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes virus 1 (DhV1) and Carcinus maenas virus 1 (CmV1), have been ...

Identification of shared viral sequences in peat moss metagenomes reveals elements of a possible Sphagnum core virome [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome
Background Viruses are an understudied component of plant microbiomes. Identifying viruses that are shared between individual plants, or members of the “core virome”, could reveal stable viral populations with the potential to modulate the composition ...

Evolution and Phylogeny of large DNA viruses, Mimiviridae and Phycodnaviridae including newly characterized Heterosigma akashiwo virus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses are a large group of viruses that harbor double-stranded DNA genomes with sizes of several hundred kbp, challenging the traditional concept of viruses as small, simple ‘organisms at the edge of life’.
