MG-Digger: an automated pipeline to search for giant virus-related sequences in metagenomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The number of metagenomic studies conducted each year is growing dramatically. Storage and analysis of such big data is difficult and time-consuming. Interestingly, analysis shows that environmental and human metagenomes include a significant amount of ...

Astrovirology: How Viruses Enhance our Understanding of Life in the Universe [PDF]
, 2023 Viruses are the most numerically abundant biological entities on Earth. As ubiquitous replicators of molecular information and agents of community change, viruses have potent effects on the life on Earth, and may play a critical role in human spaceflight,

Giant virus vs amoeba: fight for supremacy
Virology Journal, 2019 Since the discovery of mimivirus, numerous giant viruses associated with free-living amoebae have been described. The genome of giant viruses can be more than 2.5 megabases, and virus particles can exceed the size of many bacteria.

Microvesicles and intercellular communication in the context of parasitism [PDF]
, 2013 There is a rapidly growing body of evidence that production of microvesicles (MVs) is a universal feature of cellular life. MVs can incorporate microRNA (miRNA), mRNA, mtDNA, DNA and retrotransposons, camouflage viruses/viral components from immune ...

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
