  • Virus discovery by sequencing and assembly of virus-derived siRNAS, miRNAs, piRNAs
    Patent number: 9493846
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the disclosure provides methods and systems for identifying viral nucleic acids in a sample. In another embodiment the invention provides methods for viral genome assembly and viral discovery using small inhibitory RNAs, or “small silencing,” RNAs (siRNAS), micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and/or PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), including siRNAS, miRNAs and/or piRNAs isolated or sequenced from invertebrate organisms such as insects (Anthropoda), nematodes (Nemapoda), Mollusca, Porifera, and other invertebrates, and/or plants, fungi or algae, Cyanobacteria and the like.
    Type: Grant
