Frank AylwardWe found a really cool giant virus inside the genome of a green alga, and it has a very strange infection cycle that is hard to detect. There are reports going back decades of viral particles spontaneously appearing in pure cultures of green algae, so this phenomenon seems quite common but mostly overlooked. <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads6303" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads6303</a><a href="https://genomic.social/tags/viruses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#viruses</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/microbiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microbiology</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/algae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#algae</a>
