Serratus is a large scale viroinformatics platform for uncovering the total genetic diversity of Earth's virome.Originating with the goal of uncovering novel coronaviruses [1] that may have been incidentally sequenced by other researchers, the project expanded to encompass all RNA viruses, those which encode a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, but challenges in detecting, isolating, and classifying unknown viruses have prevented exhaustive surveys of the global virome. [25] Over 5 Tb of metagenomic sequence data were used from 3,042 geographically diverse samples to assess the global distribution, phylogenetic diversity, and ...
One such surveillance program is the Global Virome Project (GVP) an international collaborative research initiative based at the One Health Institute at the University of California, Davis. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] The GVP aims to boost infectious disease surveillance around the globe by using low cost sequencing methods in high risk countries to prevent ...
Some of Kyrpides's recent research in microbiome data science include the exploration of Earth’s virome, [25] [26] the identification of new bacterial phyla [27] the prediction of novel folds using metagenomic sequences, [28] and the discovery and characterization of new protein families from microbiome data.

Virosphere (virus diversity, virus world, global virosphere) was coined to refer to all those places in which viruses are found or which are affected by viruses. [1] [2] However, more recently virosphere has also been used to refer to the pool of viruses that occurs in all hosts and all environments, [3] as well as viruses associated with specific types of hosts (prokaryotic virosphere, [4 ...

[3] The goal of the Global Virome Project (GVP) is to identify and prevent future virus outbreaks. [4] The GVP is centered on the massive collection and sequencing of the planet's unknown viruses, with an estimated 1.6 million viral species yet to be discovered in mammal and bird populations. Of these, 631,000 to 827,000 have zoonotic potential ...
The study included data from 1993 through 2010, and showed that the pumping of as much as 2,150 gigatons of groundwater has caused a change in the Earth’s tilt of roughly 31.5 inches. The ...
