Tracing RNA viruses associated with Nudibranchia gastropods [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background Nudibranchia is an under-studied taxonomic group of gastropods, including more than 3,000 species with colourful and extravagant body shapes and peculiar predatory and defensive strategies.

Phaeoviruses Present in Cultured and Natural Kelp Species, Saccharina latissima and Laminaria hyperborea (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales), in Norway

Viruses, 2023
Phaeoviruses (Phycodnaviridae) are large icosahedral viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota with dsDNA genomes ranging from 160 to 560 kb, infecting multicellular brown algae (Phaeophyceae).

RNA Sequencing of Medusavirus Suggests Remodeling of the Host Nuclear Environment at an Early Infection Stage

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, or nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), undergo a cytoplasmic or nucleo-cytoplasmic cycle, the latter of which involves both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments to proceed viral replication ...

Diversity and genomics of giant viruses in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Large double-stranded DNA viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, often referred to as “giant viruses,” are ubiquitous members of marine ecosystems that are important agents of mortality for eukaryotic plankton.

Functional Specialization of Clathrin‐Independent Endocytic Routes: Mechanisms and Cellular Roles

Traffic, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
Distinct clathrin‐independent endocytic (CIE) routes support specialized cellular functions across different contexts. Created with Biorender.com. ABSTRACT Clathrin‐independent endocytosis (CIE) comprises a diverse repertoire of internalization mechanisms that operate in parallel with clathrin‐mediated endocytosis.

Near-atomic architecture of Singapore grouper iridovirus and implications for giant virus assembly

Nature Communications, 2023
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), one of the nucleocytoviricota viruses (NCVs), is a highly pathogenic iridovirid. SGIV infection results in massive economic losses to the aquaculture industry and significantly threatens global biodiversity. In recent

Diversity, Function and Activity of DNA Viruses in the Qiangyong Proglacial Lake Sediment, the Tibetan Plateau

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study identified DNA viruses from Qiangyong proglacial lake sediments on the Tibetan Plateau, revealing a highly diverse and previously uncharacterized viral community. These viruses influence microbial community structure and function by infecting key nutrient‐transforming taxa and encoding auxiliary metabolic genes that modulate host metabolism.

High‐throughput generic single‐entity sequencing using droplet microfluidics

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2025.
We present Generic Single Entity Sequencing (GSE‐Seq), a droplet‐based workflow that generates monoclonal barcodes by one‐step PCR, performs dissolvable hydrogel‐enabled reactions for genome processing, and attaches barcodes during in‐droplet library preparation. Barcoded fragments are pooled and sequenced with PacBio long‐read sequencing. Barcodes are

Mapping the transcriptional landscape of algal resistance to viral infection reveals a core expression program

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1368-1384, November 2025.
Summary Algal blooms and their demise by viruses drive global‐scale ecological processes in the ocean. These blooms form the foundation of marine food webs, regulate microbial communities, and shape biogeochemical cycles. Although algal populations are constantly infected by viruses, resistant subpopulations frequently emerge after the infection.
