The discovery of giant viruses, with capsids as large as some bacteria, megabase-range
genomes and a variety of traits typically found only in cellular organisms, was one of the …

Lysogens are common at high bacterial densities, an observation that contrasts with the
prevailing view of lysogeny as a low‐density refugium strategy. Here, we review the …

Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of
viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains …

Viral metagenomics has expanded our knowledge of the ecology of uncultured viruses,
within both environmental (eg, terrestrial and aquatic) and host-associated (eg, plants and …

Characterizing unknown viruses is essential for understanding viral ecology and preparing
against viral outbreaks. Recovering complete genome sequences from environmental …

Ecosystem multifunctionality reflects the capacity of ecosystems to simultaneously maintain
multiple functions which are essential bases for human sustainable development. Whereas …

Microfluidics has enabled a new era of cellular and molecular assays due to the small length
scales, parallelization, and the modularity of various analysis and actuation functions …

Human activities are a significant contributor to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs), which pose a serious threat to human health. These ARGs can be transmitted …

The arrival of novel sequencing technologies throughout the past two decades has led to a
paradigm shift in our understanding of herpesvirus genomic diversity. Previously …

Viruses play a pivotal role in ecosystems by influencing biochemical cycles and impacting
the structure and evolution of their host cells. The widespread pelagiphages infect …
