Aquatic viruses are naturally present in the aquatic environment and the number of viruses
is staggering. Various multicellular organisms in aquatic ecosystems may be infected, cross …

Recent advances in environmental genomics have provided unprecedented opportunities
for the investigation of viruses in natural settings. Yet, our knowledge of viral biogeographic …

It is commonly recognized that viruses control the composition, metabolism, and
evolutionary trajectories of prokaryotic communities, with resulting vital feedback on …

The human gut microbiome has been extensively explored, while the archaeal viruses
remain largely unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the archaeal …

Asgardarchaeota harbour many eukaryotic signature proteins and are widely considered to
represent the closest archaeal relatives of eukaryotes. Whether similarities between Asgard …

Viruses influence the fate of nutrients and human health by killing microorganisms and
altering metabolic processes. Organosulfur metabolism and biologically derived hydrogen …

CRISPR–Cas systems defend prokaryotic cells from invasive DNA of viruses, plasmids and
other mobile genetic elements. Here, we show using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics …

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

During the past decade, metagenomics became a method of choice for the discovery of
novel viruses. However, host assignment for uncultured viruses remains challenging …

The archaeal superphylum DPANN (an acronym formed from the initials of the first five phyla
