Elucidating aquatic virioplankton diversity and dynamics using high-throughput DNA sequencing
Viral infection and lysis are important processes contributing to the diversification and evolution of microbial communities. In marine ecosystems that cover 70% of the earth’s surface, there are ~10 million viruses per milliliter of seawater, indicating an incredible diversity of viruses waiting …

Genetic analysis of bacteriophages from clinical and environmental samples
… is a powerful tool that can be used to analyse viral communities in their natural environments. The aim of this study was to investigate diverse populations of uncultured viruses from clinical (a sputum of patient with cystic fibrosis, CF) and environmental samples (a sludge from a dairy food …

Within-host population dynamics and collective interactions of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus
Viral populations are comprised of an ever-diversifying assortment of individuals. This diversity can be observed from the global scale down to the most granular levels of infection, where genetically distinct viral genomes interact within a cell. Because every virus that circulates within a host …

Bacteriophages in the honey bee gut and amphibian skin microbiomes: investigating the interactions between phages and their bacterial hosts
The bacteria in host-associated microbial communities influence host health through various mechanisms, such as immune stimulation or the release of metabolites. However, viruses that target bacteria, called bacteriophages (phages), may also shape the animal microbiome. Most phage lifecycles can be …
