Developments in the classification and nomenclature of arthropod-infecting large DNA viruses that contain pif genes [PDF]
, 2023 Viruses of four families of arthropod-specific, large dsDNA viruses (the nuclear arthropod large DNA viruses, or NALDVs) possess homologs of genes encoding conserved components involved in the baculovirus primary infection mechanism. The presence of such

Viral diversity and co‐evolutionary dynamics across the ant phylogeny
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 19, October 2024.Abstract Knowledge of viral biodiversity within insects, particularly within ants, is extremely limited with only a few environmental viruses from invasive ant species identified to date. This study documents and explores the viral communities in ants.

Self-assembling viral histones are evolutionary intermediates between archaeal and eukaryotic nucleosomes [PDF]
Nucleosomes are DNA-protein complexes composed of histone proteins that form the basis of eukaryotic chromatin. The nucleosome was a key innovation during eukaryotic evolution, but its origin from histone homologues in Archaea remains unclear.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2024.Relative abundance of the metagenome‐assembled viral genomes (bottom arch) identified in the hindgut metagenomes and metatranscriptomes of Epibolus pulchripes and Glomeris connexa. The top arch shows the coverage of each viral phylum mapped to the identified metagenome‐assembled viral genomes in transcripts per million.

Genomic adaptation of giant viruses in polar oceans
Nature Communications, 2023 Despite being perennially frigid, polar oceans form an ecosystem hosting high and unique biodiversity. Various organisms show different adaptive strategies in this habitat, but how viruses adapt to this environment is largely unknown.

African Swine Fever Virus and host response - transcriptome profiling of the Georgia 2007/1 strain and porcine macrophages [PDF]
, 2022 African swine fever virus (ASFV) has a major global economic impact. With a case fatality in domestic pigs approaching 100%, it currently presents the largest threat to animal farming.

Complex Genomes of Early Nucleocytoviruses Revealed by Ancient Origins of Viral Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases [PDF]
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), also known as tRNA ligases, are essential enzymes in translation. Owing to their functional essentiality, these enzymes are conserved in all domains of life and used as informative markers to trace the evolutionary ...

Fundamental Difficulties Prevent the Reconstruction of the Deep Phylogeny of Viruses
Viruses, 2020 The extension of virology beyond its traditional medical, veterinary, or agricultural applications, now called environmental virology, has shown that viruses are both the most numerous and diverse biological entities on Earth.
