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: You need a special key (managed via the HKI system) to connect as an admin, but none as a client.
gollark: The basic idea is that your client devices run a ~~backdoor~~ remote debugging interface which receives commands from admin systems connected to SPUDNET.
gollark: Also some protocol docs for v4 written for heavpoot, which cover the MAIN features but not HKI or reports.
gollark: And the JS-based test client.
gollark: I have a TAR of the JS-based SPUDNET server I guess.
