Virome Analysis
摘要
Viruses are omnipresent and the most abundant biological entities on the planet. They play a critical role in shaping the ecology and evolution of all life forms. This chapter provides methods to perform viromics or viral metagenomics, starting with the creation of a mock community to control experimental variables, followed by methods for nucleic acid extraction, and finally bioinformatics workflows for the processing and analysis of the sequence data.
