Lineage-specific expansions of polinton-like viruses in photosynthetic cryptophytes
Abstract Background Polinton-like viruses (PLVs) are diverse eukaryotic DNA viral elements (14–40 kb) that often undergo significant expansion within protist genomes through repeated insertion events. Emerging evidence indicates they function as antiviral defense systems in protists, reducing the pr...
