| phylogenetic analysis of members of the phycodnaviridae virus family, using amplified fragments of the major capsid protein gene. | algal viruses are considered ecologically important by affecting host population dynamics and nutrient flow in aquatic food webs. members of the family phycodnaviridae are also interesting due to their extraordinary genome size. few algal viruses in the phycodnaviridae family have been sequenced, and those that have been have few genes in common and low gene homology. it has hence been difficult to design general pcr primers that allow further studies of their ecology and diversity. in this stud ... | 2008 | 18359826 |
