virus classification

Any method or any software are there by which we can classify the virus species into their families? I have 10-12 virus species data with me and I need to classify them into their respective families. How can I do that?

I have metagenomic data in FASTA format and I need the class of viruses for presentation in paper.

Pure culture or metagenomic data?

  • If you have got contigs/genome, just use BLASTN. You can even classify it into species level, not just family.
  • For metagenomic data or the clean reads of a single species, I'd recommend my new metagenomic profiling tool, kmcp, which outperforms other tools in viral data. You can just search against the genbank-viral.kmcp database.

I have 10-12 different species of viruses and I need to know the classes of those viruses.

Assembled genomes in FASTA format? just blast them.
