VirSorter2: a multi-classifier, expert-guided approach to detect diverse DNA and RNA viruses

Microbiome, 2021
Viruses are a significant player in many biosphere and human ecosystems, but most signals remain “hidden” in metagenomic/metatranscriptomic sequence datasets due to the lack of universal gene markers, database representatives, and insufficiently advanced

VIBRANT: automated recovery, annotation and curation of microbial viruses, and evaluation of viral community function from genomic sequences

Microbiome, 2020
Viruses are central to microbial community structure in all environments. The ability to generate large metagenomic assemblies of mixed microbial and viral sequences provides the opportunity to tease apart complex microbiome dynamics, but these analyses ...

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses at the Wild–Domestic Bird Interface in Europe: Future Directions for Research and Surveillance

Viruses, 2021
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in wild birds and poultry are no longer a rare phenomenon in Europe. In the past 15 years, HPAI outbreaks—in particular those caused by H5 viruses derived from the A/Goose/Guangdong/1/1996 lineage that ...

RNA Viral Community in Human Feces: Prevalence of Plant Pathogenic Viruses [PDF]

, 2005
The human gut is known to be a reservoir of a wide variety of microbes, including viruses. Many RNA viruses are known to be associated with gastroenteritis; however, the enteric RNA viral community present in healthy humans has not been described.

Production of glycoprotein-deleted rabies viruses for monosynaptic tracing and high-level gene expression in neurons

Nature Protocols, 2010
Recombinant rabies viruses rendered replication-deficient by the deletion of their envelope glycoprotein gene are useful tools for neuroscientists, permitting (1) extraordinarily high transgene expression levels within neurons, (2) retrograde infection ...
