Megaviruses contain various genes encoding for eukaryotic vesicle trafficking factors
Traffic, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 414-425, August 2022., 2022 Giant viruses enter their eukaryotic host cells by phagocytosis. For reproduction, they hijack the host cell's membranes by an unknown mechanism. Here, we found that giant viruses express several core factors of the eukaryotic vesicle fusion machinery, including SNARE, Rab, SM proteins, and the disassembly protein NSF.

The expanding Asgard archaea and their elusive relationships with Eukarya
mLife, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 3-12, March 2022., 2022 Abstract The discovery of Asgard archaea and the exploration of their diversity over the last 6 years have deeply impacted the scientific community working on eukaryogenesis, rejuvenating an intense debate on the topology of the universal tree of life (uTol). Here, we discuss how this debate is impacted by two recent publications that expand the number

Assessing the biogeography of marine giant viruses in four oceanic transects
ISME Communications, 2023 Viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota are ubiquitous in ocean waters and play important roles in shaping the dynamics of marine ecosystems. In this study, we leveraged the bioGEOTRACES metagenomic dataset collected across the Atlantic and Pacific ...
