Giant viruses as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes
Nature CommunicationsNucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs; also called giant viruses), constituting the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, can infect a wide range of eukaryotes and exchange genetic material with not only their hosts but also prokaryotes and phages.

New Isolates of Betachloroviruses Shed Light on the Diversity and Biological Complexity of an Unexplored Group of Giant Algal Viruses [PDF]
VirusesThe majority of giant algal viruses belong to the family Phycodnaviridae, class Algavirales, phylum Nucleocytoviricota. Among them, the genus Chlorovirus is the most studied, with three recognized groups based on genomics and host range, although many ...

Journal of Applied PhycologyAbstract Undaria pinnatifida is 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.

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 ...

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).
