Infectious RNA are either viruses or viroids. In our newest preprint we show there are also hybrid infectious agents: viroid-like elements which encode their own stolen copy of the RNA virus hallmark-gene, RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp). 👇🧵1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Extant hybrids of RNA viruses and viroid-like elements

Earth’s life may have originated as self-replicating RNA. Some of the simplest current RNA replicators are RNA viruses, defined by linear RNA genomes encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP),...

Tara Oceans claimed five new virus phyla "dominate the ocean" science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…, but their own analysis finds mostly known viruses, only 2.8% assigned to "new phyla" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Cryptic and abundant marine viruses at the evolutionary origins of Earth’s RNA virome

Viruses of two candidate phyla are abundant in the ocean and revise our understanding of early RNA virus evolution.
