AIMS Microbiol
. 2021 Jul;
7(2):138-162.
PMID: 34250372
The emergence of cooperative quasi-species consortia (QS-C) thinking from the more accepted quasispecies equations of Manfred Eigen, provides a conceptual foundation from which concerted action of RNA agents can now...

Ann N Y Acad Sci
. 2019 Mar;
1447(1):5-20.
PMID: 30865312
All the conserved detailed results of evolution stored in DNA must be read, transcribed, and translated via an RNA-mediated process. This is required for the development and growth of each...

Curr Opin Microbiol
. 2016 Apr;
31:70-79.
PMID: 27039268
The giant DNA viruses are highly prevalent and have a particular affinity for the lytic infection of unicellular eukaryotic host. The giant viruses can also be infected by inhibitory virophage...

APMIS
. 2016 Jan;
124(1-2):20-30.
PMID: 26818259
A virus first perspective is presented as an alternative hypothesis to explain the role of various endogenized retroviruses in the origin of the mammalian placenta. It is argued that virus-host...

Villarreal L, Witzany G
Genomics Insights
. 2015 Jul;
6:1-12.
PMID: 26217106
Most molecular biological concepts derive from physical chemical assumptions about the genetic code that are basically more than 40 years old. Additionally, systems biology, another quantitative approach, investigates the sum...

Villarreal L, Witzany G
J Mol Evol
. 2015 May;
80(5-6):305-18.
PMID: 26014757
In the early 1970s, Manfred Eigen and colleagues developed the quasispecies model (qs) for the population-based origin of RNAs representing the early genetic code. The Eigen idea is basically that...

Ann N Y Acad Sci
. 2014 Nov;
1341:25-34.
PMID: 25376951
Lytic viruses were thought to kill the most numerous host (i.e., kill the winner). But persisting viruses/defectives can also protect against viruses, especially in a ubiquitous virosphere. In 1991, Yarmolinsky...

World J Biol Chem
. 2013 Dec;
4(4):79-90.
PMID: 24340131
Recent investigations surprisingly indicate that single RNA "stem-loops" operate solely by chemical laws that act without selective forces, and in contrast, self-ligated consortia of RNA stem-loops operate by biological selection....

PMID: 22685610
Phycodnaviruses are large dsDNA, algal-infecting viruses that encode many genes with homologs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Among the viral gene products are the smallest proteins known to form functional K(+)...
