▸ Viral discovery and surveillance — mining RNA-Seq libraries deposited for entirely different purposes, and reading the viral sequences hiding in them
▸ Metagenomics and viral diversity — across plants, arthropods and fermentation-associated microbial communities
▸ Endogenous viral elements and small RNAs — ancient viral integrations in bee genomes, and the small RNA pathways that keep them quiet
▸ Plant immunity — resistance genes in Theobroma cacao and their expression under infection
Cocoa viromes, bee endogenous viral elements, stingless bee miRNAs and the ViralQuest pipeline — the full list lives at gabrielvpina.github.io/publications.
