Journal ArticleDOI
Redefining the invertebrate RNA virosphere
Mang Shi,Xian-Dan Lin,Jun-Hua Tian,Liangjun Chen,Xiao Chen,Ci-Xiu Li,Xin-Cheng Qin,Jun Li,Jian-Ping Cao,John-Sebastian Eden,Jan P. Buchmann,Wen Wang,Jianguo Xu,Edward C. Holmes,Edward C. Holmes,Yong-Zhen Zhang +15 more
TL;DR: A view of the RNA virosphere is presented that is more phylogenetically and genomically diverse than that depicted in current classification schemes and provide a more solid foundation for studies in virus ecology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unprecedented genomic diversity of RNA viruses in arthropods reveals the ancestry of negative-sense RNA viruses
Ci-Xiu Li,Mang Shi,Jun-Hua Tian,Xian-Dan Lin,Yan-Jun Kang,Liangjun Chen,Xin-Cheng Qin,Jianguo Xu,Edward C. Holmes,Yong-Zhen Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: RNA sequencing of 70 arthropod species revealed that arthropods contain viruses that fall basal to major virus groups, including the vertebrate-specific arenaviruses, filoviruse, hantavirus, influenza viruses, lyssavirusing, and paramyxoviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolutionary history of vertebrate RNA viruses
Mang Shi,Mang Shi,Mang Shi,Xian-Dan Lin,Xiao Chen,Jun-Hua Tian,Liangjun Chen,Kun Li,Wen Wang,John-Sebastian Eden,Jin-Jin Shen,Li Liu,Edward C. Holmes,Edward C. Holmes,Edward C. Holmes,Yong-Zhen Zhang,Yong-Zhen Zhang +16 more
TL;DR: Around 200 new vertebrates-specific viruses are discovered, and every vertebrate-specific viral family known to infect mammals and birds is also present in amphibians, reptiles or fish, suggesting that evolution of vertebrate viruses mirrors that of vertebrates hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergent Viruses Discovered in Arthropods and Vertebrates Revise the Evolutionary History of the Flaviviridae and Related Viruses
Mang Shi,Xian Dan Lin,Nikos Vasilakis,Jun Hua Tian,Ci Xiu Li,Liang Jun Chen,Gillian Eastwood,Xiu Nian Diao,Ming Hui Chen,Xiao Chen,Xin Cheng Qin,Steven G. Widen,Thomas G. Wood,Robert B. Tesh,Jianguo Xu,Edward C. Holmes,Edward C. Holmes,Yong-Zhen Zhang +17 more
TL;DR: The traditional view on the evolutionary history, host range, and genomic structures of a major group of RNA viruses is revised, suggesting that arthropods may be the ultimate reservoir of the Flaviviridae and related viruses, harboring considerable genetic and phenotypic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tick-borne segmented RNA virus contains genome segments derived from unsegmented viral ancestors
Xin-Cheng Qin,Mang Shi,Mang Shi,Jun-Hua Tian,Xian-Dan Lin,Dong-Ya Gao,Jin-Rong He,Jian-bo Wang,Ci-Xiu Li,Yan-Jun Kang,Bin Yu,Dun-Jin Zhou,Jianguo Xu,Alexander Plyusnin,Alexander Plyusnin,Edward C. Holmes,Edward C. Holmes,Yong-Zhen Zhang +17 more
TL;DR: This work discovered a previously unidentified segmented RNA virus of ticks that, uniquely, contained two segments derived from an unsegmented flavivirus, as well as two highly divergent segments of unknown origin.
