Challenges in the analysis of viral metagenomes [PDF]
Virus Evolution, 2016 Genome sequencing technologies continue to develop with remarkable pace, yet analytical approaches for reconstructing and classifying viral genomes from mixed samples remain limited in their performance and usability. Existing solutions generally target expert users and often have unclear scope, making it challenging to critically evaluate their ...

Rapid screening and identification of viral pathogens in metagenomic data
BMC Medical Genomics, 2021 Background Virus screening and viral genome reconstruction are urgent and crucial for the rapid identification of viral pathogens, i.e., tracing the source and understanding the pathogenesis when a viral outbreak occurs.

Diagnostic metagenomics : potential applications to bacterial, viral and parasitic infections [PDF]
, 2014 The term 'shotgun metagenomics' is applied to the direct sequencing of DNA extracted from a sample without culture or target-specific amplification or capture.

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2007 AbstractCharacterisation of new viruses is often hindered by difficulties in amplifying them in cell culture, limited antigenic/serological cross‐reactivity or the lack of nucleic acid hybridisation to known viral sequences. Numerous molecular methods have been used to genetically characterise new viruses without prior in vitro replication or the use ...

Characterizing Enterotypes in Human Metagenomics: A Viral Perspective [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The diversity and high genomic mutation rates of viral species hinder our understanding of viruses and their contributions to human health. Viral enterotypes as a description of the gut virome, its characteristics have not been thoroughly studied. Here we investigated the human gut virome composition using previously published sequencing data of 2,690 ...

Metagenomic identification of viral sequences in laboratory reagents [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 2. Abstract Metagenomic next-generation sequencing has transformed the discovery and diagnosis of infectious disease, with the power to characterize the complete ‘infectome’ (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) of an individual host organism.

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2017 Sapoviruses (SaVs) belong to the Sapovirus genus, in the family Caliciviridae. They have been associated with gastroenteritis in humans and in pigs but not in other animals. In addition, some strains from pigs, chimpanzees and rodents show close sequence

Comparative metagenomics of Daphnia symbionts [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Shotgun sequences of DNA extracts from whole organisms allow a comprehensive assessment of possible symbionts. The current project makes use of four shotgun datasets from three species of the planktonic freshwater crustaceans Daphnia: one ...

Impact of HIV infection and integrase strand transfer inhibitors-based treatment on the gut virome
Scientific Reports, 2022 Viruses are the most abundant components of the human gut microbiome with a significant impact on health and disease. The effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on gut virome has been scarcely analysed.
