VirFinder: a novel k-mer based tool for identifying viral sequences from assembled metagenomic data
Abstract Background Identifying viral sequences in mixed metagenomes containing both viral and host contigs is a critical first step in analyzing the viral component of samples. Current tools for distinguishing prokaryotic virus and host contigs primarily use gene-based similarity approaches. Such a...
