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.

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.

#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.

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."

#GiantViruses encode many strange genes in their genomes - partial TCA cycles, actins and myosins, nutrient transporters, etc
What are they doing with all of these crazy genes?We discuss this in a recent article - big thanks to all of the collaborators who were willing to help write an extensive review!

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.
