Applications

The Giant Virus Finder tool integrates and applies the Giant Virus Toplist, the list of the largest virus genomes. With the tool, giant viruses were found in diverse habitats, like the Great Rann of Kutch [1] or the Mojave Desert, the Prairie, or the Antarctic dry valleys .[2]

gollark: Turns out I infected one of my computers with an old virus which did nothing but occasionally break code without noticing for a while.
gollark: What was the 500KST spent on?
gollark: Ah.
gollark: ***QUICK MATHS***
gollark: 4000 - 1900 = 2100
