Assessment of viral community functional potential from viral metagenomes may be hampered by contamination with cellular sequences
Although the importance of viruses in natural ecosystems is widely acknowledged, the functional potential of viral communities is yet to be determined. Viral genomes are traditionally believed to carry only those genes that are directly pertinent to the viral life cycle, though this view was challen...
