A distinct lineage of giant viruses brings a rhodopsin photosystem to unicellular marine predators. [PDF]
, 2019 Giant viruses are remarkable for their large genomes, often rivaling those of small bacteria, and for having genes thought exclusive to cellular life.

Unexpected invasion of miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements in viral genomes
Mobile DNA, 2018 Background Transposable elements (TEs) are common and often present with high copy numbers in cellular genomes. Unlike in cellular organisms, TEs were previously thought to be either rare or absent in viruses.

Persistence of low pathogenic influenza A virus in water: a systematic review and quantitative meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Avian influenza viruses are able to persist in the environment, in-between the transmission of the virus among its natural hosts. Quantifying the environmental factors that affect the persistence of avian influenza virus is important for influencing our ...

The Role of Infection in Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Background. Acute exacerbation of IPF (AE‐IPF) is associated with high mortality. We studied changes in pathogen involvement during AE‐IPF and explored a possible role of infection in AE‐IPF. Objectives. Our purpose is to investigate the role of infection in AE‐IPF. Methods. Overall, we recruited 170 IPF patients (48 AE‐IPF, 122 stable) and 70 controls

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The existence of complete genome sequences makes it important to develop different approaches for classification of large‐scale data sets and to make extraction of biological insights easier. Here, we propose an approach for classification of complete proteomes/protein sets based on protein distributions on some basic attributes.

The Poxviral RING Protein p28 Is a Ubiquitin Ligase That Targets Ubiquitin to Viral Replication Factories [PDF]
, 2005 We conducted an exhaustive search for three-dimensional structural homologs to the proteins of 20 key phylogenetically distinct nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses (NCLDV). Structural matches covered 429 known protein domain superfamilies, with the most highly

Giant Viruses of the Kutch Desert [PDF]
, 2014 The Kutch desert (Great Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, India) is a unique ecosystem: in the larger part of the year it is a hot, salty desert that is flooded regularly in the Indian monsoon season.
