Chaperonin sequences from marine metagenomes. marine metagenome

In this study, open reading frames (ORFs) or contigs from marine viromes with significant homology to chaperonin genes (GroES, GroEL and thermosomes) were identified by BLAST comparison to sequenced viral, bacterial and archaeal chaperonin genes. Identified GroEL and theromosome ORFs were assembled on a per-library basis to generate full-length genes. GroES assembly was not required given the small size of the gene.
