A universal taxonomy of viruses is essential for a comprehensive view of the virus world and
for communicating the complicated evolutionary relationships among viruses. However …

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), the shotgun sequencing of RNA and
DNA from clinical samples, has proved useful for broad-spectrum pathogen detection and …

RNA sequencing approaches, including metagenomics, has led to the discovery of a
