Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzed 21 individuals with ALPK3tv, revealing they typically present symptoms at an older age (average 57.25 years) and exhibit less severe heart thickening compared to 132 control patients with other HCM-related genetic variants.
  • * ALPK3tv patients show a lower occurrence of obstructive HCM and a higher rate of apical aneurysms, suggesting milder hypertrophy but an increased risk for arr

Viruses are key players in the environment, and recent metagenomic studies have revealed their diversity and genetic complexity. Despite progress in understanding the ecology of viruses in extreme environments, viruses' dynamics and functional roles in dryland ecosystems, which cover about 45% of the Earth's land surfaces, remain largely unexplored. This study characterizes virus sequences in the metagenomes of endolithic (within rock) microbial communities ubiquitously found in hyper-arid deserts.
