Over the last decade, virologists have discovered an unprecedented number of viruses
using high throughput sequencing (HTS), which led to the advancement of our knowledge …

RNA interference (RNAi)-based antiviral defense generates small interfering RNAs that
represent the entire genome sequences of both RNA and DNA viruses as well as viroids …

ABSTRACT Mitoviruses (genus Mitovirus, family Narnaviridae) are mitochondrially
replicating viruses that have the simplest positive-sense RNA genomes of 2.2 to 4.4 kb with …

Analyzing all features of small non-coding RNA sequencing data can be demanding and
challenging. To facilitate this process, we developed miRMaster. After the analysis of over …

Simple Summary Host antiviral defense/viral counter-defense is an interesting topic in
modern virology. RNA silencing is the primary antiviral mechanism in insects, plants, and …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV, genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) causes
severe disease of cultivated tomatoes. Geminiviruses replicate circular single-stranded …

Pathogen recognition and transcriptional activation of defense-related genes are crucial
steps in cellular defense responses. RNA silencing (RNAi) functions as an antiviral defense …

The recurrent emergence of viral diseases in intensive horticultural crops requires
alternative control strategies. The topical application of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) …

In plants, RNA interference (RNAi) generates small interfering (si) RNAs from entire
genomes of viruses, satellites and viroids. Therefore, deep small (s) RNA sequencing is a …

It is extremely rare that a single virus crosses host barriers across multiple kingdoms. Based
on phylogenetic and paleovirological analyses, it has previously been hypothesized that …
