Organizational chart of the eight viral families with DNA genomes. The chart groups virus families using the strandedness of the viral genome, the structure of the capsid, and the presence or absence of an envelope. All of these viruses are nonsegmented. Like retroviruses, hepadnaviruses contain...
Organizational chart of the eight human virus families with positive-sense RNA (mRNA-like) genomes. The chart groups virus families using the presence or absence of an envelope, the presence of reverse transcriptase, and the structure of the capsid. All of these viruses have a single-stranded,...
Viruses possess a range of replication and mobility strategies and play a vital role in ecology1,2,3,4,5,6. Cross-species infection by viruses allows them to transfer genes horizontally, driving the formation of the “web of life”, which replaces the traditional view of the “tree of lif...

These bacterial non-ARG sequences, being more closely related to ARGs than viruses, allowed us to test the model’s specificity in identifying non-ARGs based on the threshold defined using viruses as negative data. 2. Sequences from ESKAPE pathogens, ranging from 0 to 60% identity (...
Not only are single genomes commonly analyzed, but also metagenomes, which are sets of DNA fragments (reads) derived from microbes living in a given environment [1]. Microbiome is a complex community of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and micro-eukaryotes. Metagenome analysis is therefore aimed at ...

As described in Chapter 1, “The World of Viruses” viruses were initially characterized as filterable agents capable of causing disease. Since that time, advances in microscopy and scientific techniques have led to a better classification of viruses and their properties. Electron microscopy has allowe...
One of main complications caused by COVID-19 is pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection of the portion of the lung responsible for the gas transfer (the alveoli, alveolar ducts and respiratory bronchioles), called pulmonary parenchyma, that can be caused by different organisms, such as viruses, bac...
Malware such as computer viruses, Trojan horses, worms, botnets and the like is often distributed over the Internet as or with network resources. Numerous anti-malware products exist that detect, block and/or remove malware from devices. Over time, particular domain names may become associated wit...
