The GAAS metagenomic tool and its estimations of viral and microbial average genome size in four major biomes.

The GAAS metagenomic tool and its estimations of viral and microbial average genome size in four major biomes.

Metagenomic studies characterize both the composition and diversity of uncultured viral and microbial communities. BLAST-based comparisons have typically been used for such analyses; however, sampling biases, high percentages of unknown sequences, and the use of arbitrary thresholds to find signific...
