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.

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.

Phylogeny of the Varidnaviria Morphogenesis Module: Congruence and Incongruence With the Tree of Life and Viral Taxonomy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Double-stranded DNA viruses of the realm Varidnaviria (formerly PRD1-adenovirus lineage) are characterized by homologous major capsid proteins (MCPs) containing one (kingdom: Helvetiavirae) or two β-barrel domains (kingdom: Bamfordvirae) known as the ...

Viral communities in millipede guts: Insights into the diversity and potential role in modulating the microbiome

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.

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.

Illumina Short-Read Sequencing of the Mitogenomes of Novel Scarites subterraneus Isolates Allows for Taxonomic Refinement of the Genus Scarites Fabricius 1775, within the Carabidae Family

Insects, 2022
We sequenced the complete mitogenomes, 18S and 28S rRNA of two new Scarites isolates, collected in Eastern Nebraska and Northern Arkansas (US). Based on molecular sequence data comparison and morphological characteristics, the new isolates were ...

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.

Genome-resolved year-round dynamics reveal a broad range of giant virus microdiversity

mSystems
Giant viruses are crucial for marine ecosystem dynamics because they regulate microeukaryotic community structure, accelerate carbon and nutrient cycles, and drive the evolution of their hosts through co-evolutionary processes.

Evolutionarily conserved grammar rules viral factories of amoeba-infecting members of the hyperdiverse Nucleocytoviricota phylum

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Despite sharing fewer than 10 core genes, the hyperdiverse Nucleocytoviricota phylum (ranging from poxviruses to giant viruses) universally assembles viral factories (VFs) resembling biomolecular condensates. Regardless, it is unclear how these viruses achieve such a level of functional conservation without clear ...
