MVP: a modular viromics pipeline to identify, filter, cluster, annotate, and bin viruses from metagenomes
https://journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.1128/msystems.00888-24
The significance of our work lies in the development of Modular Viromics Pipeline (MVP), an integrated and user-friendly pipeline tailored exclusively for viromics analyses. MVP stands out due to its modular design, which ensures easy installation, execution, and integration of new tools and databases. By combining state-of-the-art tools such as geNomad and CheckV, MVP provides high-quality viral genome recovery and taxonomy and host assignment, and functional annotation, addressing the limitations of existing pipelines. MVP’s ability to handle diverse sample types, including environmental, human microbiome, and plant-associated samples, makes it a versatile tool for the broader microbiome research community. By standardizing the analysis process and providing easily interpretable results, MVP enables researchers to perform comprehensive studies of viral communities, significantly advancing our understanding of viral ecology and its impact on various ecosystems.
