Thanks! ViroChart currently focuses on mammals, as we selected KEGG pathways broadly annotated across mammalian species. But the framework itself could be extended to other organisms with suitable training datasets!

Fascinating methodology, could be interesting to apply to other organisms but probably tough due to undersampling

Viruses have parasites too. Our new preprint shows how phages use VIPR to silence parasitic satellites, and how the satellites fight back with its own decoy VIPR RNAs that redirect VIPR to DNA REP elements in the host genome!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
