Our knowledge of circular replication-associated protein encoding single-stranded (CRESS)
DNA virus diversity has increased dramatically in recent years, largely due to advances in …

In recent years, innovations in molecular techniques and sequencing technologies have
resulted in a rapid expansion in the number of known viral sequences, in particular those …

Background Rock-dwelling microorganisms are key players in ecosystem functioning of
Antarctic ice free-areas. Yet, little is known about their diversity and ecology, and further still …

Viral metagenomics has recently revealed the ubiquitous and diverse nature of single-
stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses that encode a conserved replication initiator protein (Rep) in …

The discharge of wastewater-derived viruses in aquatic environments impacts catchment-
scale virome composition. To explore this, we used viromic analysis of RNA and DNA virus …

Next generation sequencing and metagenomic approaches are commonly used for the
identification of circular replication associated protein (Rep)-encoding single stranded …

Antarctic cryoconite holes, or small melt-holes in the surfaces of glaciers, create habitable
oases for isolated microbial communities with tightly linked microbial population structures …

Viral metagenomic studies have demonstrated that animal faeces can be a good sampling
source for exploring viral diversity associated with the host and its environment. As part of an …

Abstract The Antarctic, sub-Antarctic islands and surrounding sea-ice provide a unique
environment for the existence of organisms. Nonetheless, birds and seals of a variety of …

Viral metagenomics sequencing of fecal samples from outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis
from the US revealed the presence of small circular ssDNA viral genomes encoding a …
