High-throughput virome analyses with various fungi, from cultured or uncultured sources,
have led to the discovery of diverse viruses with unique genome structures and even neo …

Coronavirus infections of multiple origins have spread to date worldwide, causing severe
respiratory diseases. Seven coronaviruses that infect humans have been identified: HCoV …

Whereas DNA viruses are known to be abundant, diverse, and commonly key ecosystem
players, RNA viruses are insufficiently studied outside disease settings. In this study, we …

Multiple sequence alignments are widely used to infer evolutionary relationships, enabling
inferences of structure, function, and phylogeny. Standard practice is to construct one …

Environmental RNA viruses are ubiquitous and diverse, and probably have important
ecological and biogeochemical impacts. Understanding the global diversity of RNA viruses …

High-throughput RNA sequencing offers broad opportunities to explore the Earth RNA

In March 2020, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)
ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and …

DNA viruses often persist in the body of their host, becoming latent and recurring many
months or years later. By contrast, most RNA viruses cause acute infections that are cleared …
