Julie Callanan (APC Microbiome Ireland) and colleagues have greatly expanded the number of known ssRNA phage genomes. As of June 2019, only 12 were available in NCBI, but they sifted through 82 publicly available metatranscriptomes and detected 1,015 near-complete ssRNA phage genomes. Next week, we'll be featuring a blog post by Julie on this work, so stay tuned!
