VirMAP offers opportunities to enhance metagenomic studies seeking to define virome-host interactions, improve biosurveillance capabilities, and strengthen molecular epidemiology reporting.Ījami, N. We validate VirMAP using published data sets and viral mock communities containing RNA and DNA viruses and bacteriophages. Here we develop VirMAP that overcomes these limitations using techniques that merge nucleotide and protein information to taxonomically classify viral reconstructions independent of genome coverage or read overlap. Viral taxonomic characterization from metagenomic data suffers from high background noise and signal crosstalk that confounds current methods. This implies the need for sensitive, specific, and practical pipelines that return precise outputs while still enabling case-specific post hoc analysis.
