    Shannon J Williamson
    Microbial and Environmental Genomics, J Craig Venter Institute, San Diego, California, USA
    PLoS ONE 7:e42047. 2012
    ..This is the first study to holistically explore virioplankton dynamics across multiple size classes and provides unprecedented insight into virus diversity, metabolic potential and virus-host interactions...

    Shibu Yooseph
    J Craig Venter Institute, Rockville, Maryland, United States of America
    PLoS Biol 5:e16. 2007
    ..Our analysis indicates that new families are being discovered at a rate that is linear or almost linear with the addition of new sequences, implying that we are still far from discovering all protein families in nature...
  6. ncbi Genomic and functional adaptation in surface ocean planktonic prokaryotes
    Shibu Yooseph
    J Craig Venter Institute, Rockville, Maryland 20850, USA
    Nature 468:60-6. 2010
    ..Their genomic features also lead us to propose that one method used to avoid predation by viruses and/or bacterivores is by means of slow growth and the maintenance of low biomass...
