This study identifies 9,697 novel archaeal proviruses across 19 phyla, revealing broad host infectivity, antiviral systems, and auxiliary metabolic genes that impact biogeochemical cycles.

This study characterizes the RNA virome of the Tibetan Plateau cryosphere, revealing high diversity, novel viral taxa, and ecological roles in host metabolism and glacier dynamics.

This study identifies and characterizes 274 auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) encoded by RNA viruses from global virome datasets, revealing their functional diversity and potential horizontal gene transfer from non-host organisms.
