Serratus-guided Snakemake mining, expert curation, clustering and phylogenetic placement identify at least 32 putative novel tobamoviruses in public short-read data, mostly Amazon River metatranscriptomes; a random-forest classifier partly automates curation.

This study investigates viral infection responses in the non-vascular plant Marchantia polymorpha, finding shared and unique defense mechanisms compared to vascular plants.
