Plasma from over 500 febrile patients from Kenya was analyzed. Particle-associated nucleic acids were enriched by filtration and nuclease treatment. DNA and RNA was amplified by random RT-PCR and libr
Single stranded DNA viruses have been previously shown to populate the oceans on a global scale, and are endemic in microbialites of both marine and freshwater systems. We undertook for the first time
To understand the viral diversity harbored by rodents in Xinjiang, A total of 314 rodents were sampled from pasture habitats in 5 locations (Jinghe, Alashankou, Yining, Qapqal and Aksu). The sampling
When human samples are sequenced, many assembled contigs are “unknown”, as conventional alignments find no similarity to known sequences. Hidden Markov models (HMM) exploit the positions of specific n
