Important study from Bellas et al showing that protists have a huge diversity of endogenous DNA viruses in their genomes!

Large-scale invasion of unicellular eukaryotic genomes by integrating DNA viruses

And a commentary about these exciting findings from @giant_virus and myself -

Endogenous DNA viruses take center stage in eukaryotic genome evolution
