… Formally, for a subtree containing k genes belonging to m genomes (k ≥ m) in the tree
with the total of n genomes (n ≥ m) genomes, the “autonomy” value was calculated as (m/…

The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of eukaryotes (proposed order,“Megavirales”)
include the families Poxviridae, Asfarviridae, Iridoviridae, Ascoviridae, …

Giant viruses have large genomes, often within the size range of cellular organisms. This
distinguishes them from most other viruses and demands additional effort for the successful …

existed? The evolutionary history of mutualisms involving Symbiodiniaceae extends back to
the very origins of dinoflagellates and the corals responsible for building reefs today. Extant …

New representatives of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota have been rapidly described in the
last decade. Despite this, not all viruses of this phylum are allocated to recognized taxonomic …

In marine ecosystems, viruses exert control on the composition and metabolism of microbial
communities, influencing overall biogeochemical cycling. Deep sea sediments associated …

Giant viruses have extraordinarily large dsDNA genomes, and exceptionally, they encode
various components of the translation apparatus, including tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA …

Viruses and mobile genetic elements are molecular parasites or symbionts that coevolve
with nearly all forms of cellular life. The route of virus replication and protein expression is …

The oceanic igneous crust is a vast reservoir for microbial life, dominated by diverse and
active bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Archaeal and bacterial viruses were previously detected in …
