The Fennoscandian Shield deep terrestrial virosphere suggests slow motion ‘boom and burst’ cycles
Abstract The deep biosphere contains members from all three domains of life along with viruses. Here we investigate the deep terrestrial virosphere by sequencing community nucleic acids from three groundwaters of contrasting chemistries, origins, and ages. These viromes constitute a highly unique co...
