Mycoviruses (viruses of fungi) are ubiquitous throughout the fungal kingdom and are currently classified into 23 viral families and the genus botybirnavirus by the International …
The near-universal genetic code defines the correspondence between codons in genes and amino acids in proteins. We refactored the structure of the genetic code in Escherichia coli …
While grounded in the hard sciences of physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, as well as well-accepted principles in the life sciences, astrobiology remains the most speculative of …

The increase of publicly available sequencing data has allowed for rapid progress in our understanding of genome composition. As new information becomes available we should …
Medically important arboviruses such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses are primarily transmitted by the globally distributed mosquito Aedes aegypti. Increasing …
The genetic code used in nuclear genes is almost universal, but here we report that it changed three times in parallel during the evolution of budding yeasts. All three changes …

L-BC virus persists in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whereas other viruses from the family Totiviridae infect a diverse group of organisms including protists, fungi …
Virus sequence data are an essential resource for reconstructing spatiotemporal dynamics of viral spread as well as to inform treatment and prevention strategies. However, the …
