vConTACT: an iVirus tool to classify double-stranded DNA viruses that infect Archaea and Bacteria

Taxonomic classification of archaeal and bacterial viruses is challenging, yet also fundamental for developing a predictive understanding of microbial ecosystems. Recent identification of hundreds of thousands of new viral genomes and genome fragments, whose hosts remain unknown, requires a paradigm...
