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

Viruses, 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 ...

Cedratvirus lausannensis - digging into Pithoviridae diversity. [PDF]

, 2017
Amoeba-infecting viruses have raised scientists' interest due to their novel particle morphologies, their large genome size and their genomic content challenging previously established dogma.

The genome of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus contains a series of viral DNA pieces, suggesting an ancient association with large dsDNA viruses

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Ectocarpus siliculosus virus-1 (EsV-1) is a lysogenic dsDNA virus belonging to the super family of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) that infect Ectocarpus siliculosus, a marine filamentous brown alga. Previous studies indicated that

The Role of TNPO3 in HIV-1 Replication [PDF]

, 2012
TNPO3, transportin-SR2 or Tnp3, a member of the karyopherin β superfamily of proteins, is important for the ability of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) to achieve productive infection, as TNPO3 depletion in human cells leads to a dramatic reduction ...

African swine fever virus assembles a single membrane derived from rupture of the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]

, 2016
Collective evidence argues that two members of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) acquire their membrane from open membrane intermediates, postulated to be derived from membrane rupture.

Metagenomic Characterization of the Viral Community of the South Scotia Ridge

Viruses, 2019
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in aquatic ecosystems and harbor an enormous amount of genetic diversity. Whereas their influence on marine ecosystems is widely acknowledged, current information about their diversity remains limited. We

A single-cell genome perspective on studying intracellular associations in unicellular eukaryotes. [PDF]

, 2019
Single-cell genomics (SCG) methods provide a unique opportunity to analyse whole genome information at the resolution of an individual cell. While SCG has been extensively used to investigate bacterial and archaeal genomes, the technique has been rarely ...

One Year Genome Evolution of Lausannevirus in Allopatric versus Sympatric Conditions. [PDF]

, 2017
Amoeba-resisting microorganisms raised a great interest during the last decade. Among them, some large DNA viruses present huge genomes up to 2.5 Mb long, exceeding the size of small bacterial genomes.

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

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-
