Broad Surveys of DNA Viral Diversity Obtained through Viral Metagenomics of Mosquitoes
6 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Viruses are the most abundant and diverse genetic entities on Earth; however, broad surveys of viral diversity are hindered by the lack of a universal assay for viruses and the inability to sample a sufficient number of individual hosts. This study utilized vector-enabled metagenomics (VEM) to provide a snapshot of the diversity of DNA viruses present in three mosquito samples from San Diego, California. The...
