Description
Nicolas Bejerman and co-authors mine public gene datasets to expose hidden plant viruses in a 2023 paper. The target family infects plants and was thought to carry one piece genomes. Dataset mining surfaced ninety-three new virus genomes with family traits. Five finds broke the pattern with three piece genomes.
Those five form a proposed new genus, a first for the whole family. Some carry a silencing blocker gene borrowed from a distant virus family. Family trees support splitting the old genus into three genera. The haul greatly widens known diversity in this virus group. Dataset mining proves a cheap way to map virus worlds before field surveys.
