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 …

A universal taxonomy of viruses is essential for a comprehensive view of the virus world and
for communicating the complicated evolutionary relationships among viruses. However …

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 …

Background Viruses are a significant player in many biosphere and human ecosystems, but
most signals remain “hidden” in metagenomic/metatranscriptomic sequence datasets due to …

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
virome. Mining 5,150 diverse metatranscriptomes uncovered> 2.5 million RNA virus contigs …

Bats are reservoir hosts for many zoonotic viruses. Despite this, relatively little is known
about the diversity and abundance of viruses within individual bats, and hence the …

Emerging infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Zika
virus disease, present a major threat to public health,–. Despite intense research efforts …

Mosquito transmitted viruses are responsible for an increasing burden of human disease.
Despite this, little is known about the diversity and ecology of viruses within individual …

Bats, rodents, and shrews are the most important animal sources of human infectious
diseases. However, the evolution and transmission of viruses among them remain largely …
