New global survey increases the number of known marine viruses 12-fold. Nearly 200,000 different kinds of viruses swirl in the world’s oceans, according to a new study, Quanta Magazine reports. The new count is 12 times higher than what the previous census of marine viruses recorded in 2016. The reasons for the jump, researchers says, include extensive expeditions to collect samples and improved tools for genetic analysis. Metagenomic assembly of 145 marine viromes uncovered 195,728 viral populations. Read mapping revealed discrete sequence boundaries among >99% viral populations. Viral communities separated into five distinct ecological zones in the global ocean. Viral macro- and microdiversity did not follow the latitudinal diversity gradient
