High-throughput identification of viral termini and packaging mechanisms in virome datasets using PhageTermVirome
Abstract Viruses that infect bacteria (phages) are increasingly recognized for their importance in diverse ecosystems but identifying and annotating them in large-scale sequence datasets is still challenging. Although efficient scalable virus identification tools are emerging, defining the exact end...
