This study shows Prochlorococcus MED4 produces light-dependent, predator-inducible aldehydes to defend against Uronema marinum, affecting marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles.

This study characterizes the RNA virome of the Tibetan Plateau cryosphere, revealing high diversity, novel viral taxa, and ecological roles in host metabolism and glacier dynamics.

This study reports four new marseillevirus strains, analyzes their biological properties, and predicts novel translation-associated proteins through in silico methods.

The paper identifies 56 metagenome-assembled genomes of Bathyarchaeia viruses and describes their CRISPR system components, revealing potential counter-defense mechanisms.

The paper shows cyanophages exhibit rhythmic infection patterns under light-dark cycles, with gene transcription peaking at night in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre.
