Cenote-Taker 2 democratizes virus discovery and sequence annotation [PDF]
Virus Evolution, 2021 Abstract Viruses, despite their great abundance and significance in biological systems, remain largely mysterious. Indeed, the vast majority of the perhaps hundreds of millions of viral species on the planet remain undiscovered. Additionally, many viruses deposited in central databases like GenBank and RefSeq are littered with genes ...
