Methods for virus classification and the challenge of incorporating metagenomic sequence data.

Abstract excerpt

The division of viruses into orders, families, genera and species provides a classification framework that seeks to organize and make sense of the diversity of viruses infecting animals, plants and bacteria. Classifications are based on similarities in genome structure and organization, the presence of homologous genes and sequence motifs and at lower levels such as species, host range, nucleotide and antigenic...
