Abstract
Most studies of aquatic virus communities analyze DNA sequences derived from the smaller-size “free-virus” fraction. Our study demonstrates that analysis of virus communities using only the smaller-size fraction can lead to erroneously low diversity estimates for many of the larger viruses such as Mimiviridae , Phycodnaviridae , Iridoviridae , and Poxviridae , whereas analyzing only the larger->0.45-μm-size fraction can lead to underestimates...
