The microbes that cycle nutrients in the ocean don't do the work on their own—the viruses that infect them also influence the ...

Prokaryotic viruses impact functional microorganisms in nutrient removal and carbon cycle in wastewater treatment plants. Nature Communications, 2021; 12 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-25678-1; ...

In this cross-journal Collection, we invite submissions investigating prokaryotic immunity and viral evasion systems, drawing on genomics, genetics, cell and structural biology, virology and other ...

This study, explaining HGT between eukaryotes and viruses, is the first of its kind to reveal how viruses may have allowed multiple eukaryotic species to diverge and evolve. Biology / Biochemistry ...

Scientists have revived a "zombie" virus they say spent nearly 50,000 years frozen in permafrost, part of a new batch of research that identifies several newly discovered viruses that have been ...

Thankfully, the 1,705 genomes retrieved from the Guliya core are all from viruses of prokaryotes; they infect bacteria and archaea, not humans, animals, or even plants.

This is the first eukaryotic virus (a virus that infects eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, fungi) found to encode such a protein. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.
