Viruses in deep-sea cold seep sediments harbor diverse survival . . . Here, we examined the evolutionary ecology of viruses across active and extinct seep stages in the area of Haima cold seeps in the South China Sea A total of 338 viral operational taxonomic units are identified and linked to 36 bacterial and archaeal phyla
Viruses in deep-sea cold seep sediments harbor diverse survival . . . Deep sea cold seep sediments have been discovered to harbor novel, abundant, and diverse bacterial and archaeal viruses However, little is known about viral genetic features and evolutionary patterns in these environments Here, we examined the
Deep sea sediments associated with cold seeps are a subsurface . . . To this end, 28 publicly available marine sediment metagenomes from seven cold seeps around the world were analyzed to recover genomes of viruses in cold seep communities Characterizing these viral communities enabled host predictions and identification of AMGs
