The paper uses cryo-ET to show serum IgM crosslinks HBV SVPs into supramolecular immune complexes through multivalent Fab interactions.

The paper identifies apolipoprotein C1 as a host factor that facilitates HBV and HDV infection by associating with viral particles and enhancing infectivity through SR-B1.

This paper introduces Virushunter and Virusgatherer, tools for discovering viral genomes from sequencing data, and applies them to bat transcriptomes to identify novel virus species.

The paper expands the known range of nidovirus genomes up to 64 kb and identifies host constraints and new replicase expression modes in giant invertebrate nidoviruses.

The paper longitudinally analyzes wastewater viromes to track viral diversity and detect pathogens, identifying thousands of novel viral transcripts.
