Abstract

Phycodnaviruses are widespread algae-infecting large dsDNA viruses and presently contain six genera: Chlorovirus, Prasinovirus, Prymnesiovirus, Phaeovirus, Coccolithovirus and Raphidovirus. The members in Prasinovirus are identified as marine viruses due to their marine algal hosts, while prasinovirus freshwater relatives remain rarely reported. Here we present the complete genomic sequence of a novel phycodnavirus, Dishui Lake Phycodnavirus 1 (DSLPV1), which was assembled from Dishui Lake metagenomic datasets. DSLPV1 harbors a linear genome of 181,035 bp in length (G + C content: 52.7%), with 227 predicted genes and 2 tRNA encoding regions. Both comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses indicate that the freshwater algal virus DSLPV1 is closely related to the members in Prasinovirus, a group of marine algae infecting viruses. In addition, a complete eukaryotic histone H3 variant was identified in the genome of DSLPV1, which is firstly detected in phycodnaviruses and contributes to understand the interaction between algal virus and its eukaryotic hosts. It is in a freshwater ecosystem that a novel Prasinovirus-related viral complete genomic sequence is discovered, which sheds new light on the evolution and diversity of the algae infecting Phycodnaviridae.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 March 2021.
All research outputs
#7,477,223
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#3,515
of 10,787 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#162,025
of 476,300 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#82
of 217 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,787 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 476,300 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 217 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
