Can recover novel viruses in metagenomic data using both reference-dependent and reference-independent approaches; Uses referenced-based and reference-free approaches in unison relying on probabilistic similarity models and referenced base

Includes complete genomes of viruses and their hosts gathered from RefSeq, GenBank, UniProt, and ViralZone

An alignment-free approach for distinction between phages and eukaryotic viruses in metagenome data

Made up of two BLAST-based pipelines – Virome and Discovery. Virome aligns reads to a curated database to identify viral sequences and compute their abundance in the sample. Discovery focuses on contig-based analysis to aid novel virus disc

Fast and accurate, making it suitable for predicting phages' host range from metagenomic data
