User manual || Tutorial
Description: BAQLaVa, Bioinformatic Application of Quantification and Labeling of Viral Taxonomy, is a tool designed to perform viral community profiling on metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, or metavirome sequencing data, especially data from complex microbial communities. BAQLaVa can identify all viruses recognized by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), as well as the many novel viruses as captured and released in the Gut Virome Database, RNA Viruses in Metatranscriptomes (RVMT) database, Viral Sequence Clusters and Benler et al 2021.
