Metagenomic and whole-genome analysis reveals new lineages of gokushoviruses and biogeographic separation in the sea

Much remains to be learned about single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses in natural systems, and the evolutionary relationships among them. One of the eight recognized families of ssDNA viruses is the Microviridae, a group of viruses infecting bacteria. In this study we used metagenomic analysis, genome as...
