Evolution of ubiquitin, cytoskeleton, and vesicular trafficking machinery in giant viruses [PDF]
Journal of VirologyMembers of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, which include “giant viruses” known for their large physical dimensions and genome lengths, are a diverse group of dsDNA viruses that infect a wide range of eukaryotic hosts.

A phylogenomic framework for charting the diversity and evolution of giant viruses.
PLoS Biology, 2021 Large DNA viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota have recently emerged as important members of ecosystems around the globe that challenge traditional views of viral complexity.

Unveiling the hidden viral biodiversity and potential ecological functions with global coral holobiont virome database [PDF]
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesViruses are integral yet underexplored components of coral holobionts, with their roles in shaping microbial diversity, modulating symbioses, and contributing to Darwin’s paradox remaining largely unresolved.

A rapid genome‐wide analysis of isolated giant viruses using MinION sequencing
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2621-2635, November 2023., 2023 We evaluated performance of MinION sequencing for giant virus genomics. Re‐sequencing of a prototype marseillevirus by MinION alone provided high‐quality genomes. As a proof of concept, we sequenced genomes of newly isolated giant viruses. Collectively, we concluded that MinION sequencing is an effective approach to rapidly perform a genome‐wide ...

Genomics discovery of giant fungal viruses from subsurface oceanic crustal fluids
ISME Communications, 2023 The oceanic igneous crust is a vast reservoir for microbial life, dominated by diverse and active bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Archaeal and bacterial viruses were previously detected in oceanic crustal fluids at the Juan de Fuca Ridge (JdFR).

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 920-933, September 2023., 2023 The composition and microbial activity of marine water is expected to vary with seasons and abiotic variables. To characterize both the microbial compositional and functional changes associated with abiotic factors such as pH, temperature, alkalinity, aragonite, calcite and pCO2, here we generate a reference metatranscriptome from the Strait of Georgia,

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 756-769, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Background It has been estimated that microorganisms are involved in the pathogenesis of approximately 20% of all cancers. Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of malignancy in young men and arise from the precursor cell, germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS).
