Giant viruses and E. coli walking the #Beatles walk. From right to left: Mimivirus, Pandoravirus, Pithovirus, Tupanvirus and E. coli. Size roughly to scale.

#GiantVirus #Beatles

Really diggin proteomics. Was lent this magazine. I've been assigned my favorite topic (evolution of viruses) to present for my proteomics course. Going to be hitting the stacks this weekend 📚 🦠 #giantvirus #evolution #megavirales

another #giantvirus with #histones y'all! Medusavirus has them all - even a putative linker histone! Check out Medusavirus nucleosome structures (and more) in our new preprint by the amazing Chelsea Toner and Nicole Hoitsma, PhD biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

All, check out this incredibly cool story from @chantal_abergel and colleagues describing DNA packaging in a #giantvirus . An oxidoreductase doing double (or even triple?) duty in #Mimivirus . Paradigm shifting and so beautiful - check it out! 😍😍😍

Excited to share our last paper, revealing the importance of extra cellular #vesicles in expediting viral infection dynamics & prolonging #virus half life😱😱 , all of this in the natural environment ! Congrats Schatz et al. !! #sRNA #giantvirus #mesocosm

Primeiro artigo ja esta nas bancas : ) my first paper is here! its about Symbiodinium giant viral-like particles:link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We are happy to introduce our speaker Jônatas Abrahão from #Brazil
He will present Lecture about ' #Gene Duplication as One of the Major Forces Driving the #Evolution of Some Giant #Virus Genomes'
See you soon at #Vom2023

#GiantVirus #Gene Dublication

@VoM_2023 ISVM

This blog post describes how population genomes for the #GiantVirus and their close relatives can be characterised from within the open-assess platform #anvio by means of genome-resolved metagenomics, guided in part by HMM models for hallmark genes merenlab.org/2022/01/03/gia…

At faseb 2023 wearing my Editor Pin. Come talk with me about JVirology Editors and my new role handling #phage and #giantvirus papers 🙂 send me your manuscripts!

Awesome talk by Chuan Xiao on 3-D reconstruction of CroV and other #GiantVirus at #AVW9

Megavirus, Mimivirus,... welcome Medusavirus as the latest addition to the mysterious family of giant viruses! 381kb genome encoding for >460 putative proteins... even histones! goo.gl/atHC4i

Great time and lots of good memories from the 5th #giantvirus symposium. Thanks Matthias Fischer and Thomas Hackl for the amazing job in the organization. How would the world be without (giant) viruses? 😊

Introducing the first isolate genome of a Giant Virus of the cyptophyte Rhodomonas.

we had to call it Budvirus

Cafeteria roenbergensis & the #GiantVirus CroV that kills it. Named after a cafe in Roenberg? #GreatScientificNames

Nothing like an up-to-date [virtual] #virology lecture to take the edge off!
Now, apparently, there is a #giantVirus out there whose genome encodes a near-complete translational apparatus, sans the ribosome. I think I'm in love.
Huge thanks to Vincent Racaniello for the awesome materials.

The 3rd Ringberg Symposium on #GiantVirus Biology includes a fascinating program, making it the perfect stage for Disa Bäckström's exciting findings!

Our new paper Microbiology Spectrum !
Giant viruses infect diverse eukaryotes, incl. vertebrates, insects, algae and amoebae. We look into the origin ( #LNCA ) and early evolution of #GiantVirus based on their essential membrane fusion proteins for cell entry. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…
