This study examines the biogeography of giant viruses across hydrothermal vents and the pelagic ocean, finding that horizontal transport via hydrothermal plumes drives their global distribution while environmental selection shapes their presence in vent habitats.

This study identifies virus-mediated recycling of chemoautotrophic biomass in marine environments using metagenomics and isotopic experiments, revealing active viral targeting of specific chemoautotrophs.

proovframe corrects frameshift errors in long-read (meta)genomics data using protein-to-nucleotide alignments, improving data quality without requiring high sequencing depth.
