Microbes were the only form of life on Earth for most of its history, and they still account for
the vast majority of life's diversity. They convert rocks to soil, produce much of the oxygen we …

Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans, exhibiting high abundance and diversity. Here, we
systematically analyze existing genomic sequences of marine prokaryotes to compile a …

Microbiomes are foundational components of the environment that provide essential
services relating to food security, carbon sequestration, human health, and the overall well …

The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses a substantial threat to human
health. Phage-mediated transduction could exacerbate ARG transmission. While several …

Phages are increasingly recognized for their importance in microbial aggregates, including
their influence on microbial ecosystem services and biotechnology applications. However …

Marine viruses in seawater have frequently been studied, yet their dispersal from neuston
ecosystems at the air-sea interface towards the atmosphere remains a knowledge gap …

Abstract Wetlands store 20–30% of the world's soil carbon, and identifying the microbial
controls on these carbon reserves is essential to predicting feedbacks to climate change …

Holobionts are highly organized assemblages of eukaryotic hosts, cellular microbial
symbionts, and viruses, whose interactions and evolution involve complex biological …

Viruses as the prevailing biological entities are poorly understood in underground realms.
Here, we establish the first metagenomic Groundwater Virome Catalogue (GWVC) …

Deep sea cold seep sediments have been discovered to harbor novel, abundant, and
diverse bacterial and archaeal viruses. However, little is known about viral genetic features …
