Viruses are by far the most abundant'lifeforms' in the oceans and are the reservoir of most of
the genetic diversity in the sea. The estimated 1030 viruses in the ocean, if stretched end to …

The application of single-cell genome sequencing to large cell populations has been
hindered by technical challenges in isolating single cells during genome preparation. Here …

Communities of microscopic plant life, or phytoplankton, dominate the Earth's aquatic
ecosystems. This important new book by Colin Reynolds covers the adaptations, physiology …

Viruses exist wherever life is found. They are a major cause of mortality, a driver of global
geochemical cycles and a reservoir of the greatest genetic diversity on Earth. In the oceans …

The discovery that viruses may be the most abundant organisms in natural waters,
surpassing the number of bacteria by an order of magnitude, has inspired a resurgence of …

The finding that total viral abundance is higher than total prokaryotic abundance and that a
significant fraction of the prokaryotic community is infected with phages in aquatic systems …

Marine viruses are critical drivers of ocean biogeochemistry, and their abundances vary
spatiotemporally in the global oceans, with upper estimates exceeding 10 8 per ml. Over …

The human gut is host to one of the densest microbial communities known, the gut
microbiota, which contains bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and other microbial eukaryotes …
