How do geminiviruses maximize their limited coding capacity? Our recent preprint uncovers splicing of viral transcripts as one more strategy used by this viral family. We show that RNA splicing is prevalent in the geminivirus TYLCV — and required for infectivity! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Pervasive splicing in a plant DNA virus
Viruses maximize their limited coding space through strategies that increase transcript and protein diversity. In mammalian viruses, splicing is a well-established mechanism for proteome expansion, ye...

How do plant viruses cause symptoms? Are these developmental alterations functionally relevant? Man Gao, Enmanuel, et al. found that TYLCV does so through a host-mimicking domain in its C4 protein, co-opting a plant protein family - to attract the insect vector! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

For decades, we thought geminiviruses had 4-8 genes. Here, we propose it is time to think again—about this family and beyond. @huangtan.bsky.social @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
