The paper analyzes Phycodnaviridae viral homologs of heme oxygenase-1 and Phycocyanobilin:Ferredoxin oxidoreductase to predict their subcellular localization and functional divergence from host enzymes.

The paper shows that a giant virus triggers polinton-like viruses in green algae, revealing an inducible antiviral defense system.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to assemble Drechmeria coniospora genomes, revealing chromosome plasticity and highlighting the limitations of current long-read methods.
