Genome Detective Virus Tool Version 2.52

The Virus tool assigns taxonomic names to sequences from eukaryotic viruses and phages. The taxonomic rank which gets assigned is based on availability of reference genomes in RefSeq, and is mostly at species level. At the moment 11467 distinct taxonomic names are assigned based on 14909 reference sequences. Subtyping tools, for the identification of subspecies, are available for 19 viruses.

You can submit sequences/contigs or short reads NGS data. Up to 2000 FASTA sequences may be submitted at once. The free service only allows one NGS analysis at a time. For batch analyses of NGS data, please contact us.

What kind of input file do you have?

Input

Submit NGS short read data (single-end reads or paired-end reads).

Example output is available for a Metagenomic dataset (SRR3458562) and a Norovirus amplicon dataset (ERR138007). We have an example data set for SARS-COV-2 for Oxford Nanopore Technologies (SRR15055957) and Illumina (ERR6111660).

Available tools

Subtyping tools, identifying subspecies using phylogenetic analysis, are currently available for 19 viruses.

You can submit sequences/contigs in FASTA format or short reads NGS data in FASTQ format. The public service only allows one NGS analysis at a time due to computational demand. For batch analyses of NGS data, please contact us.
