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).

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/…

The Banfield lab is looking to hire a postdoc to work on metagenomics of soil and/or the human microbiome, with preference for those with bioinformatics skills. Please reach out to [email protected] if interested and spread the word!
2c: For exp. data growth (18mo like SRA). After 7 years, _all_ data >7yrs old will only be ~4.1% of the total storage size/costs.
Deleting old data doesn't make sense since it's a trivial cost relative to maintaining archive overall.
