Past and present giant viruses diversity explored through permafrost metagenomics

Although giant viruses are abundant in aquatic environments, less is known about giant viruses in soil. Here, the authors use permafrost metagenomics to reveal giant virus diversity and heterogeneity, as well as gene transfers between viruses from different families.
