Highly Curated and Reliable E-Probes for Detection of Viral Pathogens in Unassembled High-Throughput Sequencing Datasets from Hops | PhytoFrontiers™ Implementing high-throughput sequencing (HTS) in virus detection has recently become widespread. Bioinformatic expertise, programming skills, and access to high-capacity computers are essential for HTS data analysis. The E-Probe Diagnostic Nucleic Acid Analysis, a bioinformatic detection system that...

#EProbe design via MiFi enabled fast, sensitive detection of #hop #viruses and #viroids directly from unassembled #HTS data, with 40-nt probes offering optimal sensitivity and specificity in both in silico and in vitro validations 🧬🌿🔍

Diversity and evolution of viroids and viroid-like agents with circular RNA genomes revealed by metatranscriptome mining Abstract. Viroids, the agents of several plant diseases, are the smallest and simplest known replicators that consist of covalently closed circular (ccc) R

#Viroids are tiny circular RNAs that don't encode for proteins and can replicate in plants. Since their discovery in 1971, only 44 species were known.

This new study found 4,409 viroid-like molecules in diverse environments (not only plants). Are these relics from the #RNAworld?
