Distinct groups of RNA viruses associated with thermoacidophilic bacteria

The paper identifies two new groups of RNA viruses associated with thermoacidophilic bacteria in acidic hot springs and other environments.

NeoRdRp: A comprehensive dataset for identifying RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of various RNA viruses from metatranscriptomic data

The paper introduces NeoRdRp, a dataset of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) HMM profiles for identifying RNA viruses from metatranscriptomic data, showing improved detection compared to existing methods.

Intimate genetic relationships and fungicide resistance in multiple strains of human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from a plant bulb

The paper analyzes genetic relationships and fungicide resistance in azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus strains isolated from a tulip bulb, revealing genetic recombination and resistance to multiple fungicide classes.

Discovery of divided RdRp sequences and a hitherto unknown genomic complexity in fungal viruses

The paper identifies divided RdRp sequences and novel genomic structures in fungal viruses using FLDS technology, revealing previously hidden diversity and challenging existing views on RdRp gene organization.

Bottleneck Size-Dependent Changes in the Genetic Diversity and Specific Growth Rate of a Rotavirus A Strain

This study examines how different bottleneck sizes affect genetic diversity and growth rate in a rotavirus A strain during serial passage, finding increased diversity and growth rate under stronger bottlenecks.
