  1. Giant Viruses Found Dormant in Seaweed, Passing Through Generations

    Giant viruses found dormant in seaweed (Ectocarpus) genomes, passed down generations. This changes how we see viral latency in multicellular life.

  2. Giant viruses are now found to live inside seaweed for many years, passed from parent seaweed to baby seaweed. This is a new way scientists understand how viruses can hide.

  4. Giant virus encodes key piece of protein-making machinery of cellular life

    "Viruses are integral to the functioning of ocean ecosystems, influencing biological productivity, shifting community interactions, and driving evolutionary change,"

    #GiantViruses found on #Greenland ice sheet
    The viruses probably regulate the growth of snow #algae on the ice by infecting them. Knowing how to control these #viruses could help us reduce some of the ice from melting.
    << that's fascinating but I really don't think they are going to stop the #ClimateCatastrophe for us.

  19. Another interesting study suggesting that giant viruses can control phototaxis in their hosts during infection

    "Hijacking of internal calcium dynamics by intracellularly residing viral rhodopsins"

    "... we show here that light irradiation reversibly modified tail movements of OLPVR1-expressing frog tadpoles."

    What are they doing with all of these crazy genes?

  39. Virophages are viruses that infect giant viruses, typically resulting in a lower burst size for the giant virus. In our latest preprint we report virophage-like sequences associated with insect poxviruses.

    Their genomes of these elements are really interesting. This also opens up the possibility that hyperparasitic viruses are associated with a much broader range of DNA viruses than is commonly thought.
