• A barnavirus sequence mined from a transcriptome of the Antarctic pearlwort Colobanthus quitensis 

      Nibert, Max L.; Manny, Austin R.; Debat, Humberto Julio; Firth, Andrew E.; Bertini, Laura; Caruso, Carla (2018-03)
      Because so few viruses in the family Barnaviridae have been reported, we searched for more of them in public sequence databases. Here, we report the complete coding sequence of Colobanthus quitensis associated barnavirus ...
    • Evidence for contemporary plant mitoviruses 

      Nibert, Max L.; Vong, Minh; Fugate, Karen K.; Debat, Humberto Julio (2018-05)
      Mitoviruses have small RNA(+) genomes, replicate in mitochondria, and have been shown to infect only fungi to date. For this report, sequences that appear to represent nearly complete plant mitovirus genomes were recovered ...
    • Mitovirus and Mitochondrial Coding Sequences from Basal Fungus Entomophthora muscae 

      Nibert, Max L.; Debat, Humberto Julio; Manny, Austin R.; Grigoriev, Igor V.; De Fine Licht, Henrik H. (MDPI, 2019-04-17)
      Fungi constituting the Entomophthora muscae species complex (members of subphylum Entomophthoromycotina, phylum Zoopagamycota) commonly kill their insect hosts and manipulate host behaviors in the process. In this study, ...
