Genome-resolved year-round dynamics reveal a broad range of giant virus microdiversity by Yue Fang, Lingjie Meng, Jun Xia, Yasuhiro Gotoh, Tetsuya Hayashi, Keizo Nagasaki, Hisashi Endo, Yusuke Okazaki, Hiroyuki Ogata

“…We argue that greater microdiversity of viruses likely enhances adaptability and thus survival under the virus–host arms race during prolonged interactions with their hosts.IMPORTANCERecent genome-resolved metagenomic surveys have uncovered the vast genomic diversity of giant viruses, which play significant roles in aquatic ecosystems by acting as bloom terminators and influencing biogeochemical cycles. However, the relationship between the ecological dynamics of giant viruses and underlying genetic structures of viral populations remains unresolved. …”
