Uncovering Earth’s virome [PDF]

Nature, 2016
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, but challenges in detecting, isolating, and classifying unknown viruses have prevented exhaustive surveys of the global virome. Here we analysed over 5 Tb of metagenomic sequence data from 3,042 geographically diverse samples to assess the global distribution, phylogenetic diversity, and host ...

Phages Actively Challenge Niche Communities in Antarctic Soils

mSystems, 2020
By modulating the structure, diversity, and trophic outputs of microbial communities, phages play crucial roles in many biomes. In oligotrophic polar deserts, the effects of katabatic winds, constrained nutrients, and low water availability are known to ...

The RNA Virome of Echinoderms [PDF]

Journal of General Virology, 2022
AbstractEchinoderms are a phylum of marine invertebrates that include model organisms, keystone species, and animals commercially harvested for seafood. Despite their scientific, ecological, and economic importance, there is little known about the diversity of RNA viruses that infect echinoderms compared to other invertebrates.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics of Minor Species in the Bulk: Questions to Raise with Respect to the Untargeted Analysis of Viral Proteins in Human Tissue

Life, 2023
(1) Background: Untargeted mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic analysis is highly amenable to automation. Software algorithms translate raw spectral data into protein information obtained by a comparison to sequence databases.

Latent infection of myeloid progenitors by human cytomegalovirus protects cells from FAS-mediated apoptosis through the cellular IL-10/PEA-15 pathway. [PDF]

, 2015
Latent infection of primary CD34(+) progenitor cells by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) results in their increased survival in the face of pro-apoptotic signals.

Exposing the Human Virome [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2015
As medicine advances, we have come to realize that viral infections early in life can still be playing out in our body decades later, long after the primary infection has ended. New research has indicated that viral infections can precipitate the onset of a diverse array of long-term illnesses, from Alzheimer disease to chronic fatigue syndrome and ...

Diverse Marine T4-like Cyanophage Communities Are Primarily Comprised of Low-Abundance Species Including Species with Distinct Seasonal, Persistent, Occasional, or Sporadic Dynamics

Viruses, 2023
Cyanophages exert important top-down controls on their cyanobacteria hosts; however, concurrent analysis of both phage and host populations is needed to better assess phage–host interaction models.

Bioinformatic Surveillance Leads to Discovery of Two Novel Putative Bunyaviruses Associated with Black Soldier Fly

Viruses, 2023
The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, BSF) has emerged as an industrial insect of high promise because of its ability to convert organic waste into nutritious feedstock, making it an environmentally sustainable alternative protein source.

Diverse, Abundant, and Novel Viruses Infecting the Marine Roseobacter RCA Lineage

mSystems, 2019
Many major marine bacterial lineages such as SAR11, Prochlorococcus, SAR116, and several Roseobacter lineages have members that are abundant, relatively slow-growing, and genome streamlined.

Characteristics of Wetting-Induced Bacteriophage Blooms in Biological Soil Crust. [PDF]

, 2019
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are photosynthetic "hot spots" in deserts and cover ∼12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, and yet they face an uncertain future given expected shifts in rainfall events.
