The paper examines the distribution of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) genes in marine viruses and links their patterns to ocean biogeochemistry.

PASV automates validation and partitioning of protein-coding sequences using conserved residues, achieving high accuracy in classifying RNR, AOX, and PTOX sequences.

Iroki automates the customization and visualization of phylogenetic trees using metadata, enabling easier exploration of microbial ecology data.

The paper reannotates an RNR gene in a cyanophage, revealing it belongs to Class I rather than Class II, and suggests this reannotation impacts understanding of viral life strategies.
