Comparative metagenomic analyses reveal viral-induced shifts of host metabolism towards nucleotide biosynthesis

BACKGROUND: Viral genomes often contain metabolic genes that were acquired from host genomes (auxiliary genes). It is assumed that these genes are fixed in viral genomes as a result of a selective force, favoring viruses that acquire specific metabolic functions. While many individual auxiliary gene...
