MARINE VIRUSES CAUSE BILATERAL GENE TRANSFER IN PHYTOPLANKTON adding to their genetic diversity. “Along with the sequencing of the EhV-86 genome came the discovery, for the first time in a virus, of a series of enzyme-coding genes predicted to be involved in the biosynthesis of sphingolipids. Viruses are known to carry a variety of host genes.” The host sphingolipid genes in the virus are thought to cause host death by apoptosis. ”
