Viruses in the sea
Article Abstract:
Viruses are a major cause of mortality, a driver of global geochemical cycles and a reservoir of the greatest genetic diversity on Earth, moving between marine and terrestrial reservoirs, and raising the spectre of emerging pathogens. The understanding of the effect of viruses on global systems and processes continues to spread out, reversing the idea that viruses and virus-mediated processes are sidebars to global processes.

A large population of 'Lyman-break' galaxies in a protocluster at redshift z=4.1
Article Abstract:
Multicolor imaging of the distant protocluster, TNJ1338-1942 at a redshift z=4.1 is reported. Data indicates that TNJ1338-1942 is the most distant cluster progenitor of a rich local cluster and this suggests galaxy clusters began forming when the Universe was only ten percent of its present age.
