Evolution and diversity of the Microviridae viral family through a collection of 81 new complete genomes assembled from virome reads.

Recent studies suggest that members of the Microviridae (a family of ssDNA bacteriophages) might play an important role in a broad spectrum of environments, as they were found in great number among the viral fraction from seawater and human gut samples. 24 completely sequenced Microviridae have been...
