Exploration of the genetic landscape of bacterial dsDNA viruses reveals an ANI gap amid extensive mosaicism.

mSystems. 2025 Feb 18;10(2):e0166124. doi:10.1128/msystems.01661-24

“revealed a multimodal ANI distribution, with a distinct gap around 80%, akin to the bacterial ANI gap (~90%)” “accuracy and scalability compared to existing approaches, even to data sets of hundreds of thousands of viral genomes”
