Isolation and infection cycle of a polinton-like virus virophage in an abundant marine alga

This is an important study that shows how #virophage have evolved multiple times independently in distinct viral groups. Turns out that #viruses infecting other viruses are quite common!

Also gotta love the opening sentence: "Eukaryotic genomes are a hub where viruses and selfish genetic elements convene" - so true.

Amazing work by the @BejaLab lab!
