Genomic catalogue of giant viruses reveals expanded diversity and functional potential
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA and Mirusviricota viruses exhibit taxonomic richness which continually expands due to metagenomic sequencing. Here we curate a database of giant virus metagenome-assembled genomes (GVMAGs V2), comprising 8,508 species-level representatives from 18,727...

ABSTRACT Evolution of central nervous systems is a long‐debated topic. Similar mechanisms of conditional neural specification linked to dorsal‐ventral (D–V) axis formation have been used to support homology across several taxa. We tested for autonomous versus conditional neural s...
