Metagenomics and future perspectives in virus discovery
Open accessAbstract
Highlights ► Viruses are the most abundant and most diverse biological entity of the biosphere. ► Rate of virus discoveries by metagenomics: higher than all other methods combined. ► Sequences with no homolog in public database are not all ‘junk’ — but treasure trove and blueprint of virus discovery. ► Metagenomics finds fields of application in clinical virology, public health and beyond. ► We propose the metagenomic Koch's postulates to identify unculturable etiological agents.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
