Tunicate metatranscriptomes reveal ancient virus-host co-divergence and inter-order recombination in the evolutionary history of disease-causing viruses

2024-12-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Tunicates are a key transitional taxon in animal evolution as the closest extant invertebrate relatives of the vertebrates. Their viruses may also reflect this transitional state. Yet, it is not known whether tunicate viruses are more closely related to vertebrate- or invertebrate-infecting viral lineages. We analysed primary and publicly available RNA libraries to extend the known diversity of t...
