bio-viromics

You can detect and classify viral contigs by running an integrated viromics workflow that uses geNomad for viral sequence detection and vConTACT3 for taxonomic clustering. This approach processes raw assemblies to identify and group viral genomes.

The best way to assess viral genome completeness and contamination is to use CheckV within a viromics workflow. It evaluates assembled viral contigs to measure genome quality, ensuring your dataset meets publication-ready standards.

To run an end-to-end viromics analysis, provide a contigs.fasta file and reference databases to a workflow integrating geNomad, vConTACT3, and CheckV. This generates viral contig detections, taxonomy outputs, and QC reports.

Yes, you can classify giant viruses from metagenomic assemblies by enabling the optional GVClass module. It provides specialized giant-virus taxonomy analysis alongside standard viral contig detection and classification.

Yes, this viral contig identification approach works for large-scale ecological studies. It is designed to detect viral sequences, cluster related genomes, and assess completeness at scale, directly supporting publication-ready datasets.
