Dynamics of the DNA Viral Community in Korean Coastal Waters [PDF]

Scientific Data
Recent 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

Molecular systematics of sturgeon nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses [PDF]

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018
Namao virus (NV) is a sturgeon nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (sNCLDV) that can cause a lethal disease of the integumentary system in lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens. As a group, the sNCLDV have not been assigned to any currently recognized taxonomic family of viruses.

Scaling relation between genome length and particle size of viruses provides insights into viral life history

iScience, 2021
Summary: In terms of genome and particle sizes, viruses exhibit great diversity. With the discovery of several nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) and jumbo phages, the relationship between particle and genome sizes has emerged as an important ...

Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

The Viral Fraction Metatranscriptomes of Lake Baikal

Microorganisms, 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

Classification and Determination of Possible Origins of ORFans through Analysis of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses [PDF]

Intervirology, 2010
<i>Objective:</i> An important proportion of coding sequences in genomes, notably in viruses, do not match any sequences in databases and are assigned as ORFan sequences. Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) harbor great numbers of ORFs with a high number consisting of ORFans. Thus, we decided to decipher the nature of ORFans in the

Dynamic genome evolution and complex virocell metabolism of globally-distributed giant viruses

Nature Communications, 2020
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) exhibit a large genomic repertoire and complex evolutionary history. Here, the authors generate 501 metagenome-assembled genomes from diverse environments and show NCLDVs to harbor a wide range of potential ...

The Old and the New on Viral Diseases in Sturgeon

Pathogens, 2020
Although sturgeon production by aquaculture has increased worldwide, a major factor limiting its expansion are infectious diseases, although few data about viral diseases are available however.
