Giant viruses (GVs; Nucleocytoviricota) infect diverse eukaryotes and are ecologically important across ecosystems. Although cultivation-independent sequencing has recovered tens of thousands of GV genomes from environmental samples, eukaryotic hosts are only known for a few isolates, leaving the host contexts of most...

Advances in genomics have revealed a diversity of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (phylum Nucleocytoviricota) that infect eukaryotes, but their ecology beyond the oceans remains poorly understood. We recover 208 Nucleocytoviricota genomes, including 205 putative new species and 33 novel virus-host linkages by sam...

A database of giant virus metagenome-assembled genomes (GVMAGs V2), comprising 8,508 species-level representatives from 18,727 GVMAGs, a sixfold increase from the previous giant virus phylogenetic frameworks is curate, serving as a foundation for expanding giant virus diversity, uncovering virus–host interactions and e...

Both “viral fossils” and active infection by giant viruses in fungi, particularly in the zoosporic phyla Blastocladiomycota and Chytridiomycota are reported, suggesting that viral activation may be constrained to certain life stages of the host.
