Biodiversità microbica, nuovi agenti infettivi per applicazioni biotecnologiche Sono stati individuati da una ricerca del #Cnr, in collaborazione con @unibs_official e altre istituzioni internazionali. Possibile utilizzo per vaccini virali e nuove terapie cnr.it/it/comunicato-stampa/…

We are hiring! The Plant Small RNA Biotechnology lab @ibmcp (Valencia 🇪🇸) offers a 2-year postdoctoral contract to develop small RNA-based, next-generation RNAi tools for antiviral crop protection. More details at ibmcp.upv.es/ofertas-activas…

"What is a virus?" The answer to this old question is going to change in b/c of studies like this. Here we discover +20,000 viroid-like agents & show exp. proof for 2 independent lineages of Viroid:RNA virus hybrids, linking these kingdoms of infectious agents. Paper Link --> nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Small viroid-like circRNAs are the simplest infectious agents ever described. To date, only ~50 species affecting plants or animals were known. Now, we reveal the existence of more than 20,000 new species of viroidal circRNAs occurring in environmental samples around the planet

Although the potential hosts of most of these new agents are unknown, many were found to replicate in fungi, including examples of giant circRNAs (>5,000 nt) which are hybrids of classical RNA viruses (enconding an RdRp) and viroid agents (circRNAs with autocatalytic ribozymes)

This work is dedicated to the memory of our mentor and friend Prof. Ricardo Flores, who has been working on it till the last period of his life. This is one more of so many contributions Ricardo did to science.

Interested in knowing about a new world of more than 20000 viroid-like RNAs endowed with ribozymatic activity? Have a look at our paper where we also report viroid/virus hybrid RNA replicons (ambiviruses) rdcu.be/dbp8H

This article in memory of Prof. Ricardo Flores reviews early studies in his lab that allowed discovering four new viroids that became models to further assess several viroid features (just some of the huge contributions of Ricardo to science) | Home doi.org/10.1016/j.virusres.2…
