AI Article Synopsis
- - The Coccolithoviridae viruses specifically target the marine microalga Emiliania huxleyi, which is significant in ocean ecosystems.
- - Emiliania huxleyi viruses (EhVs) have spherical shapes with sizes ranging from 160 to 180 nanometers and possess large genomes around 400 kilobase pairs containing over 450 coding sequences.
- - The text presents findings on four newly sequenced coccolithoviruses (EhV-88, EhV-201, EhV-207, and EhV-208), discussing their genome sequences and how they compare to the previously established EhV-86 reference genome.
Article Abstract
The Coccolithoviridae are a group of viruses which infect the marine coccolithophorid microalga Emiliania huxleyi. The Emiliania huxleyi viruses (known as EhVs) described herein have 160- to 180-nm diameter icosahedral structures, have genomes of approximately 400 kbp, and consist of more than 450 predicted coding sequences (CDSs). Here, we describe the genomic features of four newly sequenced coccolithoviruses (EhV-88, EhV-201, EhV-207, and EhV-208) together with their draft genome sequences and their annotations, highlighting the homology and heterogeneity of these genomes to the EhV-86 model reference genome.
