This Cooperative Agreement award of $576,681 from the National Institutes of Health's Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to Battelle Memorial Institute's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory supports the development of computational tools to characterize the diverse and poorly understood viral elements that impact the human microbiome.

The key objectives are to: 1) develop enhanced methods for detecting viral sequences using graph assemblies, 2) build a sequence- and structure-based pipeline for characterizing auxiliary genes carried by viruses, and 3) provide novel visualization approaches to enable greater insights for researchers studying the "dark matter" of the human virome. This research aims to significantly improve identification and understanding of viral elements that influence the composition, dynamics, and function of microbial communities and human health. The project will run from September 2024 through June 2028.
