Metagenomic approaches for examining the diversity of large DNA viruses in the biosphere
The discovery of large DNA viruses has challenged the traditional perception of viral complexity due to their enormous genome size and physical dimensions. Previously, viruses were considered small, filterable agents until the discovery of large DNA viruses. Among large DNA viruses, the phylum …

Nucleosome-independent permanently condensed chromosome: investigation of novel nuclear organisation in the dinoflagellates
… in only dinoflagellates and numerous marine large DNA viruses. I will address two issues in this thesis, 1) what are the properties of the protein DVNP, and can we infer if and how DVNP manages the permanently condensed chromosome state; and 2) how do other proteins accommodate this …

Evolutionary History of Immunomodulatory Genes of Giant Viruses
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) have genome sizes that range from around 100 kilobases (kb) to up to 2.5 megabases, and virion sizes that can reach up to 1.5 μm. Their large size in both of these contexts is atypical and defies the traditional view that viruses are streamlined, …

Microbial biodiversity in the southern Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean
… ranges from the numerically dominant viruses to the diverse climate-change regulating phytoplankton. Recent advances in next generation sequencing are starting to reveal the true diversity and biological complexity of this previously invisible component of Earth's hydrosphere. An …
