Rapidity of Genomic Adaptations to Prasinovirus Infection in a Marine Microalga

Viruses, 2018
Prasinoviruses are large dsDNA viruses commonly found in aquatic systems worldwide, where they can infect and lyse unicellular prasinophyte algae such as Ostreococcus.

Virus evolution : the emergence of new ideas (and re-emergence of old ones)

, 2006
Reputed intractable, the question of the origin of viruses has long been neglected. In the modern literature 'Virus evolution' has come to refer to study more akin to population genetics, such as the world-wide scrutiny on new polymorphisms appearing ...

HLA and autoantibodies define scleroderma subtypes and risk in African and European Americans and suggest a role for molecular mimicry

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance HLA alleles have previously been implicated with scleroderma risk, but, in this study, using a European American ancestral cohort and a newly recruited large cohort of African Americans, we comprehensively define the HLA alleles and amino ...

Evaluation of methods to concentrate and purify ocean virus communities through comparative, replicated metagenomics

Environmental Microbiology, 2013
Viruses have global impact through mortality, nutrient cycling and horizontal gene transfer, yet their study is limited by complex methodologies with little validation. Here, we use triplicate metagenomes to compare common aquatic viral concentration and

Variability in Microbial Community Composition and Function Between Different Niches Within a Coral Reef [PDF]

, 2016
To explore how microbial community composition and function varies within a coral reef ecosystem, we performed metagenomic sequencing of seawater from four niches across Heron Island Reef, within the Great Barrier Reef.

Antarctica's hidden mycoviral treasures in fungi isolated from mosses: A first genomic approach

Journal of Basic Microbiology
This study investigates the presence of mycoviruses in Antarctic fungi and elucidates their evolutionary relationships. To achieve this, we aligned mycoviral gene sequences with genomes of previously sequenced Antarctic endophytic fungi, made available ...
