Excited to see @atruch.bsky.social publish his work on giant virus DNA methylation. Kratosvirus quantuckense shows diverse DNA methylation via six methyltransferases, shaping infection and genomic stability in this giant virus.

Epigenome analysis of an algae-infecting giant virus reveals a unique methylation motif catalogue
DNA methylation can epigenetically alter gene expression and serve as a mechanism for genomic stabilization. Advancements in long-read sequencing technology have allowed for increased exploration into...
