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 …

Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

Gene exchange between viruses and their hosts acts as a key facilitator of horizontal gene
transfer and is hypothesized to be a major driver of evolutionary change. Our understanding …

Recent studies have uncovered myriad viral sequences that are integrated
or'endogenized'in the genomes of various eukaryotes. Surprisingly, it appears that not just …

Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi. A growing number of novel mycoviruses have
expanded our knowledge of virology, particularly in taxonomy, ecology, and evolution …

The worldwide spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Fecal transfer from healthy donors is being explored as a microbiome modality. MicroRNAs
(miRNAs) have been found to affect the microbiome. Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients have …

Mycoviruses are widely distributed among various kinds of fungi. Over the past 10 years,
more novel mycoviruses have been discovered with the use of high-throughput sequencing …

Phylogenetic analyses have prompted a taxonomic reorganization of family Partitiviridae
(encapsidated, bisegmented dsRNA viruses that infect plants, fungi, or protozoa), the focus …

The question whether or not “viruses are alive” has caused considerable debate over many
years. Yet, the question is effectively without substance because the answer depends …
