This study identifies diverse RNA viruses and viroid-like elements in Arctic tundra soils during wintertime using metatranscriptomics, revealing active viral communities and host interactions.

This study identifies self-cleaving ribozymes in RNA viruses, showing their role in translation initiation across fungi and plants.

This paper identifies and characterizes TsvlRNA1, a viroid-like RNA in Trichoderma spirale that transmits between species and modulates biocontrol capacity against plant pathogens.
