Our discovery of novel viruses in invasive camelids in Australia leads us to propose a simple idea: RNA viruses may repeatedly evolve functional modules at the 5′ end of their genomes.

With HTS, we can detect even the smallest traces of viral RNA or DNA in plant samples—but not everything detected actually infects the plant.

Detection ≠ infection. HTS is just the start—validation is essential.

Benchmarking bioinformatic virus identification tools using real-world metagenomic data across biomes - Genome Biology Background As most viruses remain uncultivated, metagenomics is currently the main method for virus discovery. Detecting viruses in metagenomic data is not trivial. In the past few years, many bioinfo...
