Viral

These apps allow users to identify and analyze viral sequences in assemblies within KBase.

Apps

• vContact2: perform guilt-by-contig-association automatic classification of viral contigs

• VirSorter2: Identifies viral sequences from viral and microbial metagenomes

  • VirSorter (legacy)

• VirMatcher: Predicts host-virus matches

Input

The viral workflow begins with Assemblies, either metagenome or single genomes. VirSorter produces the assemblies that should be used by vContact as input.

Narratives

• Viral Annotation Pipeline in KBase – a streamlined use case of a pre-assembled small metagenome and a Cyanophage genome run through VirSorter to identify viral sequences and vContact to classify them.

• Viral Analysis End-to-End – a more comprehensive tutorial with a use case from the Global Ocean Virome demonstrating how to go through the entire process starting with raw metagenomic reads.

  • Tutorial Narratives were made available by Ben Bolduc of Ohio State University.
