The paper reports the cryo-EM structure of piscine orthoreovirus, showing structural conservation with mammalian orthoreoviruses despite low sequence identity.

The paper integrates structural and proteomic methods to characterize the protein organization of a giant virus, identifying sub-compartments and membrane protein topologies.

This study investigates the role of the crown protein in OmRV infection and transmission, finding it dispensable for entry but required for efficient cell-to-cell spread.

This study determines the capsid structure of ClorDNAV using cryo-EM and analyzes AlphaFold3 predictions to reveal structural conservation and divergence in Bacilladnaviridae.

The paper identifies key nucleocapsid proteins in Marburg and Ebola viruses and shows their role in nucleocapsid assembly and transport, highlighting a conserved motif as a potential antiviral target.

This paper determines the structure of the infectious T=13 capsid of IPNV, revealing key differences from non-infectious subviral particles and functional motifs important for replication and assembly.

The paper resolves the atomic structure of RnMBV1, a fungal dsRNA virus, revealing unique capsid features that may aid in its use as a viro-control agent for plant disease.
