Degenerate PCR Primers to Reveal the Diversity of Giant Viruses in Coastal Waters
“Megaviridae” is a proposed family of giant viruses infecting unicellular eukaryotes.These viruses are ubiquitous in the sea and have impact on marine microbial community structure and dynamics through their lytic infection cycle.However, their diversity and biogeography have been poorly characterized due to the scarce detection of Mega
