We present an extension of the Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS)
standard for reporting sequences of uncultivated virus genomes. Minimum Information about …

The scope for ecological studies of eukaryotic algal viruses has greatly improved with the
development of molecular and bioinformatic approaches that do not require algal cultures …

The discovery of eukaryotic giant viruses has transformed our understanding of the limits of
viral complexity, but the extent of their encoded metabolic diversity remains unclear. Here …

Virophages are small viruses that co-infect eukaryotic cells alongside giant viruses
(Mimiviridae) and hijack their machinery to replicate. While two types of virophages have …

Establishing virus–host relationships has historically relied on culture-dependent
approaches. Here we report on the use of marine metatranscriptomics to probe virus–host …

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 …

Algae are photosynthetic organisms that drive aquatic ecosystems, eg fuelling food webs or
forming harmful blooms. The discovery of viruses that infect eukaryotic algae has raised …

In Antarctic coastal waters where nutrient limitations are low, viruses are expected to play a
major role in the regulation of bloom events. Despite this, research in viral identification and …

The discovery of infectious particles that challenge conventional thoughts concerning “what
is a virus” has led to the evolution a new field of study in the past decade. Here, we review …

Viruses are major pathogens in all biological systems. Virus propagation and downstream
analysis remains a challenge, particularly in the ocean where the majority of their microbial …
