Cenote-Taker 2 democratizes virus discovery and sequence annotation [PDF]
Virus Evolution, 2020 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 ...

ANATOMY OF A CENOTE WITH USE OF DRON
Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021 Background: Detailed geomorphological analysis of the karst depressions in Yucatán has received little attention because the measurement of morphometric parameters taken in the field involves a lot of work, time and costs. A pioneering exercise is presented that arose with two questions.
