TL;DR: The approach to utilizing available RNA-Seq and other data types in the authors' manual curation process for vertebrate, plant, and other species is summarized, and a new direction for prokaryotic genomes and protein name management is described.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a novel human coronavirus isolated from a man with acute pneumonia and renal failure in June 2012 prototypes a novel species in the genus Betacoronavirus, which is closely related to bat coronaviruses that are distant from SARS-CoV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Virus Diseases Transmitted by Whiteflies
TL;DR: Factors driving the emergence and establishment of whitefly-transmitted diseases include genetic changes in the virus through mutation and recombination, changes inThe vector populations coupled with polyphagy of the main vector, Bemisia tabaci, and long distance traffic of plant material or vector insects due to trade of vegetables and ornamental plants.

TL;DR: The rationale for why metagenomic sequence data should, and how it can, be incorporated into the ICTV taxonomy is considered, and present proposals that have been endorsed by the Executive Committee of the ITV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bat-to-human: spike features determining 'host jump' of coronaviruses SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and beyond.
TL;DR: The progress made in the past decade in understanding the cross-species transmission of SARS- coV and MERS-CoV is summarized by focusing on the features of the S protein, its receptor-binding characteristics, and the cleavage process involved in priming.

TL;DR: PAirwise Sequence Comparison of bornavirus genomes and Basic Local Alignment Search Tool comparison of genomic and protein sequences indicate that this genus should include at least five species, which is in line with biological characteristics of these viruses and their vertebrate hosts.

TL;DR: The morphological and genomic features among the campylophages are detailed, their taxonomic position is investigated, and two new genera are proposed within a proposed subfamily, the “Eucampyvirinae”.

TL;DR: Comparative nucleotide and protein sequence analysis, in addition to available data on phage morphology, allowed us to propose three new phage genera within the family Siphoviridae: “3alikev virus”, “77likevirus” and “Phietalikevirus,” which include related phages infecting Staphylococcus aureus and Staphyllococcus epidermidis.
Gammasphaerolipovirus, a newly proposed bacteriophage genus, unifies viruses of halophilic archaea and thermophilic bacteria within the novel family Sphaerolipoviridae
TL;DR: A group of bacteriophages infecting extreme thermophilic Thermus thermophilus and sharing a number of structural and genomic properties with archaeal sphaerolipoviruses is proposed to be included, to include the so far unclassified P23-77-like bacter iophages into a new genus, ''Gammasphaerlipovirus'', within the family SphaerolIPoviridae.
