A comprehensive RNA virome from molluscan transcriptomes reveals extensive diversity and modular genome evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Mollusca, the second-largest animal phylum, includes many aquaculture species used as important food resources for humans. While DNA viruses that threaten molluscan aquaculture have received much attention, molluscan RNA viromes are still understudied. Here, using a multi-stage RdRP discovery pipeline combining six-frame translation, profile-based homology search, and phylogenetic validation, 203 RNA viruses...
