454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology [PDF]
Genes, 2010 Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

Extension of the viral ecology in humans using viral profile hidden Markov models. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 When human samples are sequenced, many assembled contigs are "unknown", as conventional alignments find no similarity to known sequences. Hidden Markov models (HMM) exploit the positions of specific nucleotides in protein-encoding codons in various microbes. The algorithm HMMER3 implements HMM using a reference set of sequences encoding viral proteins,

Altered oral viral ecology in association with periodontal disease. [PDF]
mBio, 2014 ABSTRACTThe human oral cavity is home to a large and diverse community of viruses that have yet to be characterized in patients with periodontal disease. We recruited and sampled saliva and oral biofilm from a cohort of humans either periodontally healthy or with mild or significant periodontal disease to discern whether there are differences in viral ...

Integrating Viral Metagenomics into an Ecological Framework [PDF]
Annual Review of Virology, 2021 Viral metagenomics has expanded our knowledge of the ecology of uncultured viruses, within both environmental (e.g., terrestrial and aquatic) and host-associated (e.g., plants and animals, including humans) contexts. Here, we emphasize the implementation of an ecological framework in viral metagenomic studies to address questions in virology rarely ...

Data proliferation, reconciliation, and synthesis in viral ecology [PDF]
BioScience, 2021 AbstractThe fields of viral ecology and evolution have rapidly expanded in the last two decades, driven by technological improvements, and motivated by efforts to discover potentially zoonotic wildlife viruses under the rubric of pandemic prevention.

The Ecology of Viral Emergence
Annual Review of Virology, 2022 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound impact on human health, economic well-being, and societal function. It is essential that we use this generational experience to better understand the processes that underpin the emergence of COVID-19 and other zoonotic diseases.

High Heritability Is Compatible with the Broad Distribution of Set Point Viral Load in HIV Carriers. [PDF]
, 2015 Set point viral load in HIV patients ranges over several orders of magnitude and is a key determinant of disease progression in HIV. A number of recent studies have reported high heritability of set point viral load implying that viral genetic factors ...

Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Viral Plasticity [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2018 AbstractViruses can infect any organism. Because viruses use the host machinery to replicate, their performance depends on the host physiological state. For bacteriophages, this host-viral performance link has been characterized empirically and with intracellular theories.
