The paper introduces vConTACT3, a machine learning tool that improves virus taxonomy classification, scalability, and accuracy, and identifies taxonomic issues across the virosphere.

A human gut virome reference catalog compiled from 648 metagenomes identifies 13,203 viral populations across 702 previously uncharacterized genera, boosting viral detection nearly 60-fold over NCBI viral RefSeq.

This paper introduces vConTACT 2.0, a network-based tool for prokaryotic virus taxonomy that scales to large datasets and achieves high accuracy in taxonomic assignments.
