a dinoRNAV Major Capsid Protein (MCP) ORF phylogeny. Maximum-likelihood tree of MCP amino acid sequences generated with a LG + F + G4 substitution model and 50,000 parametric bootstraps, illustrating the similarity of putative dinoRNAV EVEs (this study) to extant dinoRNAVs from stony coral colonies. b RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) ORF phylogeny. Maximum-likelihood tree of RdRp amino acid sequences generated with a Blosum62 + G4 substitution model and 50,000 parametric bootstraps, demonstrating the similarity of metagenomic dinoRNAV EVE RdRps to RdRps of the sole recognized Dinornavirus, Heterocapsa circularisquama RNA virus (HcRNAV), as well as alignment to each other. ORFs were recovered from host metagenomes, transcriptomes, genomes, and extant +ssRNA reference viruses from amplicon libraries (a only). Both trees include Dinornavirus reference sequences and visualized in iTOL.
