Although the set of currently known viruses has been steadily expanding, only a tiny fraction of the Earth's virome has been sequenced so far. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides an opportunity to reveal novel viruses but faces the computational challenge of identifying viral genomes that are often difficult to detect in metagenomic assemblies.
