Metatranscriptomic reconstruction reveals RNA viruses with the potential to shape carbon cycling in soil
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The diversity and ecology of RNA viruses is severely understudied in complex environments. Here we investigate the diversity and community patterns of soil RNA viruses by analyzing assembled metatranscriptomes. We tracked RNA viral and host communities for 22 d in 2 soil environments central to carbon cycling, the rhizosphere and detritosphere. This work is an important step toward understanding the factors that drive RNA viral communities. The main hosts in our system may be Fungi and Proteobacteria; this is in contrast to the ocean, where diatoms and other single cellular eukaryotes are primary hosts for RNA viruses. These results greatly expand the known diversity of viruses and contribute to understanding microbial interactions in soil with major implications for carbon cycling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
