Differentiating between viruses and virus species by writing their names correctly

Francisco Murilo Zerbini et al.

Summary: Following the ICTV Ratification Vote in March 2021, a standard two-part binomial nomenclature is now the standard for naming virus species. The adoption of this new nomenclature is still in its early stages, making it timely to clarify the distinction between viruses and virus species and provide guidelines for their correct naming and writing.

Guidance for creating individual and batch latinized binomial virus species names

Thomas S. Postler et al.

Summary: The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses has adopted a binomial naming format for virus species, which is comparable with other biological taxonomies. Latinization of these names is optional, but it provides the advantage of cultural neutrality and compatibility with other taxonomies.

Recent changes to virus taxonomy ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2022)

Peter J. Walker et al.

Summary: This article discusses the changes in virus taxonomy approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in March 2022. The ICTV members voted on 174 taxonomic proposals, all of which were ratified by an absolute majority. The implementation of a new naming rule for virus species has resulted in over 60% of virus species being named in the 'Genus_name species_epithet' format.

crAssphage genomes identified in fecal samples of an adult and infants with evidence of positive genomic selective pressure within tail protein genes

Bryan P. Brown et al.

Summary: The study found elevated positive selection in the genomes of crAssphages, particularly in the RNA polymerase and phage tail protein encoding genes, potentially mediated by interactions between crAssphages and their bacterial partners.

Perspective on taxonomic classification of uncultivated viruses

Bas E. Dutilh et al.

Summary: The development of virus taxonomy relies on advances in metagenomic analysis and other technologies, which have brought a wealth of previously unknown virus sequence data and provided unprecedented insights into the vastness of the virosphere. Properly classifying viruses is crucial to understanding the diversity of viruses, and the inclusion of uncultivated viruses has already improved this process.

Diversity, taxonomy, and evolution of archaeal viruses of the class Caudoviricetes

Ying Liu et al.

Summary: This study presents 37 new genomes of haloarchaeal tailed virus isolates, doubling the current number of sequenced arTVs. Analysis of 63 available complete genomes of arTVs proposes to classify them into 14 new families and 3 orders, revealing ancient divergence of archaeal and bacterial tailed viruses and common strategies of virus-host interactions. The survey of metagenomes using viral hallmark genes suggests a global architecture of the arTV community shaped through recurrent transfers between different biomes.

Leviviricetes: expanding and restructuring the taxonomy of bacteria-infecting single-stranded RNA viruses

Julie Callanan et al.

Summary: The majority of prokaryotic viruses have double-stranded or single-stranded DNA or RNA genomes. However, recent studies have revealed a much greater diversity of single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses in prokaryotic soil communities than previously thought. Phylogenetic analysis has led to the reorganization of the class Allassoviricetes into Leviviricetes, with two new orders and a total of six families, 428 genera, and 882 species.

A Roadmap for Genome-Based Phage Taxonomy

Dann Turner et al.

Summary: Bacteriophage taxonomy has been undergoing significant changes in recent years, with the abolition of certain classification units and the establishment of guidelines for delineating species, genus, subfamily, and family-level ranks in tailed phage taxonomy.

A new family of globally distributed lytic roseophages with unusual deoxythymidine to deoxyuridine substitution

Branko Rihtman et al.

Summary: Marine bacterial viruses, particularly those infecting the marine roseobacter clade, play a significant role in microbial diversity, ecosystem function, and host evolution. The discovery of unique phages with dU-containing DNA suggests the establishment of a novel family (Naomiviridae), indicating their global importance and diversity in comparison to other well-known bacteriophages like Podoviridae in the oceans.

Phage Genome Annotation: Where to Begin and End

Anastasiya Shen et al.

Summary: With the resurgence of phage research and the increased accessibility to affordable sequencing technologies, more phage genomes are being sequenced, leading to a greater need for tools to assemble and annotate these genomes. This article provides an overview of the assembly and annotation process, with examples, guiding newcomers through the pathway of genome submission. Open access tools are emphasized to allow for easy repetition of steps and to address common pitfalls in genome assembly and annotation.
