A multilayered network reveals the centrality of newly discovered Nucleocytoviricota in wastewater treatment plant communities

The paper identifies novel viruses in wastewater treatment plants and shows their central role in microbial community structure and evolution through a multilayered network analysis.

Giant virus creates subcellular environment to overcome codon-tRNA mismatch

The paper shows how mimiviruses create a subcellular environment to overcome codon-tRNA mismatch by localizing viral mRNAs and proteins at the periphery of a viral factory.

Giant virus transcription and translation occur at well-defined locations within amoeba host cells

This study uses smFISH and other techniques to visualize Mimivirus transcription and translation sites in Acanthamoeba host cells, showing transcription occurs at defined spots and translation occurs in a ring around them.

Novel high-quality amoeba genomes reveal widespread codon usage mismatch between giant viruses and their hosts

This study presents six high-quality amoeba genomes to analyze codon usage patterns and their relationship with giant virus host range, finding codon usage mismatch is common and poor predictor of infection.

Transcriptomic, proteomic and functional consequences of codon usage bias in human cells during heterologous gene expression.

This study examines how codon usage bias affects gene expression and cellular function in human cells during heterologous gene expression, showing significant transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional differences.
