    Regulatory sequence-based discovery of anti-defense genes in archaeal viruses

    In silico identification of viral anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) has relied largely on the guilt-by-association method using known Acrs or anti-CRISPR associated proteins (Acas) as the bait. However, the low numb...

    Journey of a Thousand Miles: The Evolution of Our Understanding of Viruses in Hot Deserts

    Our understanding of soil virus ecology is in its infancy with the first study using modern techniques only published in 2007. Since then, many new tools have been developed and we now have a greater understan...

    Archaeal Viruses and Their Interactions with CRISPR-Cas Systems

    Our knowledge of archaeal viruses has increased rapidly over the past four decades since the discovery of the archaeal domain. Most surprising has been the morphological diversity of crenarchaeal viruses that ...
