| Comments |
"No contigs corresponded to known viruses infecting eukaryotic
cells. To investigate the possible presence of eukaryotic cell
viruses further, [researchers] aligned the raw sequence reads to the National
Center for Biotechnology Information viral genome database.
Thirty-two percent coverage was seen for Gyrovirus in
one time point, and pooling reads over all time points yielded
42% coverage. Gyrovirus is a Circovirus genus with very small
genome sizes (~2.3 kb) recently reported to infect humans (primary source)." |
