Spatiotemporal dynamics of giant viruses within a deep freshwater lake reveal a distinct dark-water community.

Abstract excerpt

Giant viruses (GVs) significantly regulate the ecological dynamics of diverse ecosystems. Although metagenomics has expanded our understanding of their diversity and ecological roles played in marine environments, little is known about GVs of freshwater ecosystems. Most previous studies have employed short-read sequencing and therefore resulted in fragmented genomes, hampering accurate assessment of genetic...
