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: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
gollark: Bot swarms swarming botishly.
gollark: Also good against trees, the real enemy.
gollark: What are "grands"?
gollark: I found a post about the losses on r/factorio and I think the sizing should work.,
