Origin of viruses: primordial replicators recruiting capsids from hosts
Viruses are ubiquitous parasites of cellular life and the most abundant biological entities on
Earth. It is widely accepted that viruses are polyphyletic, but a consensus scenario for their …

Doubling of the known set of RNA viruses by metagenomic analysis of an aquatic virome
RNA viruses in aquatic environments remain poorly studied. Here, we analysed the RNA
virome from approximately 10 l water from Yangshan Deep-Water Harbour near the Yangtze …

Viruses defined by the position of the virosphere within the replicator space
Originally, viruses were defined as miniscule infectious agents that passed through filters
that retain even the smallest cells. Subsequently, viruses were considered obligate …

Global organization and proposed megataxonomy of the virus world
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 …
