Opinion
The fundamental units, processes and patterns of evolution, and the Tree of Life conundrum Eugene V Koonin, Yuri I Wolf Biology Direct 2009, 4:33 (29 September 2009) This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150... A tree is a natural representation of evolution owing to the inherent tree-like character of the replication process but the fundamental units of evolution amenable to tree analysis seem to be individual genetic elements rather than complete genomes.

Hypothesis
Armen Y Mulkidjanian Biology Direct 2009, 4:26 (24 August 2009) Life may have emerged owing to the ability of porous, hydrothermal zinc sulfide precipitates to store solar energy and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, providing nourishment and shelter for the first organisms.

Research article
Nicolas Delaroque, Wilhelm Boland BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:110 (12 April 2008) The genome of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus contains fragments of the ESV-1 viral genome, which is similar to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, and could intriguingly represent the ancestor of extant forms of this virus.

Research article
Horizontal gene transfer and nucleotide compositional anomaly in large DNA viruses Adam Monier, Jean-Michel Claverie, Hiroyuki Ogata BMC Genomics 2007, 8:456 (10 December 2007) Large genome sizes in DNA viruses are unexpectedly not explained by 'borrowed' host genes, as virus and host DNA composition differs and the number of genes with anomalous composition bears no relation to viral genome size.
