Automated classification of giant virus genomes using a random forest model built on trademark protein families

npj Viruses
Viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, often referred to as “giant viruses,” are prevalent in various environments around the globe and play significant roles in shaping eukaryotic diversity and activities in global ecosystems.

Elucidating the protein interaction network of one of the largest icosahedral capsids in the virosphere

The EMBO Journal
Giant viruses challenge traditional boundaries of virology with their large particle sizes, complex genomes, and unique replication strategies. Yet, despite its 750 nm diameter and incorporation of dozens of proteins, the mimivirus virion retains an ...

Seasonal dynamics and diversity of Antarctic marine viruses reveal a novel viral seascape

Nature Communications
The Southern Ocean microbial ecosystem, with its pronounced seasonal shifts, is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Since viruses are key modulators of microbial abundance, diversity, and evolution, we need a better understanding of the effects ...

A giant virus infecting the amoeboflagellate Naegleria

Nature Communications
Giant viruses (Nucleocytoviricota) are significant lethality agents of various eukaryotic hosts. Although metagenomics indicates their ubiquitous distribution, available giant virus isolates are restricted to a very small number of protist and algal ...
