Abstract
We report the complete genome sequences of Penguin megriviruses from three different sources from Antarctica namely feces of Adelie penguin, feces of Weddell seal and ornithogenic soil. Phylogenetic analysis indicates the prevalence of very similar viruses in different sources of Antarctic environment. These genome sequences aid to understand the evolution of megriviruses in Antarctic ecology and reveal their place in global megrivirus phylogeny.
