AI Article Synopsis

  • All known polyomaviruses typically link to mammals or birds.
  • Researchers discovered a new polyomavirus in black sea bass using specific lab techniques like virion enrichment and deep sequencing.
  • This new virus displays unique genetic traits, indicating it evolved separately from polyomaviruses found in land animals.

Article Abstract

All known polyomaviruses are associated with mammals or birds. Using virion enrichment, random-primed rolling circle amplification, and deep sequencing, we identified a polyomavirus associated with black sea bass (Centropristis striata). The virus has a variety of novel genetic features, suggesting a long evolutionary separation from polyomaviruses of terrestrial animals.
