Story summary
  • The process analyzes user genomes with vConTACT3 and clusters them into five protein cluster profiles based on varying identities.
  • A distance matrix is created for each profile and converted into a genome-annotated network.
  • The network is filtered and repaired to improve accuracy, then the guilt-by-genome-association (GBGA) assigner predicts virus realms.
  • GBGA aggregates predictions into final realms, which are compared with reference sequences to compute performance metrics and generate user-friendly outputs.
