Extending and improving metagenomic taxonomic profiling with uncharacterized species using MetaPhlAn 4
Metagenomic assembly enables new organism discovery from microbial communities, but it
can only capture few abundant organisms from most metagenomes. Here we present …

Virological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 XBB variant derived from recombination of two Omicron subvariants
Abstract In late 2022, SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants have become highly diversified,
and XBB is spreading rapidly around the world. Our phylogenetic analyses suggested that …

Cryptic and abundant marine viruses at the evolutionary origins of Earth's RNA virome
Whereas DNA viruses are known to be abundant, diverse, and commonly key ecosystem
players, RNA viruses are insufficiently studied outside disease settings. In this study, we …
