Cenote Chen ha, and water quality indicators
The cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula are characterized by karstic relief, warm temperatures, and transparency of their water bodies. The mixture of fresh water from infiltrations of rainwater and runoff coupled with underground rivers or marine intrusion, make up the habitat of aquatic, amphibian, and terrestrial species. The Chen ha cenote, located in

Cenote-Taker 2 democratizes virus discovery and sequence annotation [PDF]
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 ...
