Virophages of Giant Viruses: An Update at Eleven
Viruses, 2019 The last decade has been marked by two eminent discoveries that have changed our perception of the virology field: The discovery of giant viruses and a distinct new class of viral agents that parasitize their viral factories, the virophages.

Towards meta-evolution via embodiment in artificial chemistries [PDF]
, 2012 Meta-evolution, the ability to generate novel ways of generating novelty, is one of the major goals of Artificial Life research. Biological systems can be seen to perform open-ended meta-evolution, but unfortunately this has proved very difficult to ...

A billion years arms-race between viruses, virophages, and eukaryotes
eLife, 2023 Bamfordviruses are arguably the most diverse group of viruses infecting eukaryotes. They include the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), virophages, adenoviruses, Mavericks and Polinton-like viruses.

Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Virophages and Their Interactions with Giant Viruses and Host Cells
Proteomes, 2018 Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that were first isolated in association with some giant viruses (GVs), and then found in metagenomics samples. They encode about 20–34 proteins.

A systematic approach to cancer: evolution beyond selection
Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2017., 2017 AbstractCancer is typically scrutinized as a pathological process characterized by chromosomal aberrations and clonal expansion subject to stochastic Darwinian selection within adaptive cellular ecosystems. Cognition based evolution is suggested as an alternative approach to cancer development and progression in which neoplastic cells of differing ...
