This study identifies diel rhythms in viral communities across domains of life, showing significant fluctuations in abundance and transcriptional activity, with NCLDVs showing nocturnal patterns linked to host cycles.

This paper analyzes the transcriptome of an archaeal virus and its host during infection, revealing tight temporal regulation and a role for anti-sense RNAs in viral gene expression, along with host motility suppression.

The paper shows that Prochlorococcus develops a dark-tolerant phenotype when co-cultured with Alteromonas, involving metabolic coupling and shifts in gene expression.
