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 …

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 …

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 …

Originally, viruses were defined as miniscule infectious agents that passed through filters
that retain even the smallest cells. Subsequently, viruses were considered obligate …

Circoviruses (CV) include some of the smallest viruses known. They were named after their
circularly arranged single-stranded DNA genome with a gene encoding a conserved …

Single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses are a major component of the earth virome. In particular,
the circular, Rep-encoding ssDNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses show high diversity and …

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 …

Although millions of distinct virus species likely exist, only approximately 9000 are
catalogued in GenBank's RefSeq database. We selectively enriched for the genomes of …

Land plants host a vast and diverse virome that is dominated by RNA viruses, with major
additional contributions from reverse-transcribing and single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses …
