What did #ancient #viral #ecosystems look like? 🦠🧬 Sedimentary #aDNA from lakes and oceans reveals 2,000+ viral taxa and shows how #virus–host interactions changed from the #Pleistocene to today. doi.org/10.1093/ismejo/wrag0… #MetagenomicsMonday #SPAAM #aDNA #sedaDNA

DNA virus–host patterns in lake and marine environments over the last glacial cycle

Abstract. Viruses are integral to population dynamics, biogeochemical cycling, and host evolution, making them essential for ecosystem function. We explore

In #GENETICS, @JeremyJBerg et al. introduce an evolutionary model of complex disease susceptibility, where a variant's effect on disease risk follows from liability threshold model and a variant's effect on fitness follows from its effect on disease risk. buff.ly/XkB8hPb
