This study uses mathematical models and simulations to explore how virophage integration affects cell-virus dynamics and identifies antiviral strategies like PCD and multicellularity.

This paper identifies two ancient Maverick-like viral integrations in the human genome, estimates their age at ~105 My and infers the viral ancestor at 268.61 My.

The paper tests evolutionary hypotheses about the origins of viruses, virophages, and eukaryotes using phylogenetic analysis of viral proteins.
