Benchmarking bioinformatic virus identification tools using real-world metagenomic data across biomes

Abstract Background As most viruses remain uncultivated, metagenomics is currently the main method for virus discovery. Detecting viruses in metagenomic data is not trivial. In the past few years, many bioinformatic virus identification tools have been developed for this task, making it challenging...
