Abstract:Giant viruses 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 giant viruses of freshwater ecosystems. Most previous studies have employed short-read sequencing and therefore resulted in fragmented genomes, hampering accurate assessment of genetic diversity. We sought to bridge this knowledge gap and overcome previous technical limitations. We su… Show more
