This study tracks SARSr-CoV evolution in Rhinolophus bats over 10 years, revealing host factors driving viral diversification and adaptation.

The paper examines how ant colony structure and phylogenetic lineage influence viral diversity and abundance across 15 ant species.

The paper presents a de novo whole genome assembly of the green shore crab using long-read sequencing and provides a DNA extraction protocol for brachyuran crabs.

This study develops and compares three novel landscape phylogeographic methods to assess environmental impacts on viral spread, providing guidelines for their use and open-source tools for viral epidemiology research.

detectEVE identifies non-retroviral endogenous viral elements in genomic data with high sensitivity and specificity, offering a faster and more accurate alternative to existing tools.

This study shows that endogenous viral elements can mimic exogenous viruses in transcriptomic data, leading to false positives and biased virus discovery.
