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.

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 MicrobiomeBackground 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 ...

Dynamics of the DNA Viral Community in Korean Coastal Waters [PDF]
Scientific DataRecent advances in metaviromics have revealed vast viral diversity across aquatic environments, yet coastal marine viromes remain underexplored compared to their open-ocean counterparts. In this study, we analyzed 49 surface water samples from 16 coastal
