Unveiling the hidden viral biodiversity and potential ecological functions with global coral holobiont virome database [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Viruses 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.

Infection signatures of multiple Nucleocytoviricota virus lineages in the brown algae Undaria pinnatifida revealed by population-wide genome analysis

Journal of Applied Phycology
Undaria pinnatifidais a large brown algae native to the northwest Pacific. It has been introduced to numerous countries and is listed among the world's 100 worst invasive species. However, it is also edible and produces various bioactive compounds, making it commercially important.

Continuous year-round isolation of giant viruses from brackish shoreline soils [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Giant viruses, categorized under Nucleocytoviricota, are believed to exist ubiquitously in natural environments. However, comprehensive reports on isolated giant viruses remain scarce, with limited information available on unrecoverable strains, viral ...

A 1.5-Mb continuous endogenous viral region in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis [PDF]

, 2023
Most fungal viruses are RNA viruses, and no double-stranded DNA virus that infects fungi is known to date. A recent study detected DNA polymerase genes that originated from large dsDNA viruses in the genomes of basal fungi, suggestive of the existence of

Clandestinovirus: A Giant Virus With Chromatin Proteins and a Potential to Manipulate the Cell Cycle of Its Host Vermamoeba vermiformis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
For several decades, the vast world of DNA viruses has been expanding constantly. Various discoveries in this field have broadened our knowledge and revealed that DNA viruses encode many functional features, which were once thought to be exclusive to ...

Pathogenicity, genomic analysis and structure of abalone asfa-like virus: evidence for classification in the family Asfaviridae [PDF]

, 2023
This paper presents the rationale for classifying abalone asfa-like virus (AbALV) in the family Asfarviridae based on analyses of the host, whole genome and electron microscopic observations.

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 ...

Metatranscriptomics reveals a shift in microbial community composition and function during summer months in a coastal marine environment

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,

The seminal plasma microbiome of men with testicular germ cell tumours described by small RNA sequencing

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).
