Lineage-specific expansions of polinton-like viruses in photosynthetic cryptophytes
Our findings provide a primer for understanding the evolutionary history, gene content, modes of replication and infection strategies of cryptophyte PLVs, with special emphasis on their expansion as endogenous viral elements (EVEs) in freshwater bloom-forming R. lacustris. Video Abstract.
