Welcome to the DIGS-for-EVEs repository - collating the viral fossil record!
This repository contains an organised catalog of endogenous viral element (EVE) sequences recovered from published genome sequence data via database-integrated genome screening (DIGS). DIGS is an approach for systematically screening whole genome sequence (WGS) data in silico.
WGS assemblies screened in this project were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's genome resource.
DIGS was performed using the DIGS tool, an open software framework available here.
For more information, please see the User Guide.
Data included in this project were obtained via in silico mining of published whole genome assemblies available via NCBI Genomes.
We welcome contributions from the EVE research community! If you're interested in contributing to DIGS-for-EVEs, please review our Contribution Guidelines.
