This project investigates the role of mobile genetic elements in the evolution and ecology of giant viruses, which are significant in nutrient cycles and microbial community dynamics. Using advanced techniques, it aims to understand the interactions between giant viruses, their hosts, and competing microorganisms in na…
Giant viruses appear to be ubiquitous in soil and aquatic environments, infecting a wide range of protist hosts.
As lytic viruses, they are important regulators in nutrient and energy cycles and key influencers of microbial community composition.
The recent discovery of giant viruses challenged previous assumptions and blurred the sharp division between viruses and cellular life.
Besides large particle sizes, giant viruses possess complex ""chimeric"" genomes, including genes that were likely ac…
