Names of virus species used to follow a separate taxonomic system without a binomial structure. This is now changing. Review of the work of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) by Stuart G. Siddell and others like @EvelienAdri, @mkrupovic and @Elliot_Lefkowitz in the Journal of General Virology (2023, vol. 104, issue 5, art. 1807) - https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001840

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has released the new virus taxonomy (#38, 2022) at https://ictv.global/taxonomy. The new Master Species List, MSL38, is available for download as an Excel Spreadsheet from https://ictv.global/msl/current.

#Viral #taxonomy: transforming the existing classification of #viruses into a phylogenetic one is an ongoing challenge. This Consensus View explains how such #taxonomy can encapsulate viral diversity & recognize independent biological origins #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3xnbLqi

Here goes nothing - let's see if this old dog can learn new tricks! I'm Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida. Here's my happy lab enjoying the Florida sunshine - we love #marine #science , #virology, #genomics, #oceanography #phage #seagrass #fish

@phylogenomics I have only ever been to one #NFL game. November 27, 1966 in Washington, D.C. Redskins 72 - Giants 41. The highest scoring NFL game ever. My one memory of the game is hearing the Redskin fight song played over and over again after every home team score.

@florian_krammer GISIAD is not a public repository. It requires individuals to agree to restrictive conditions to access data that limit use and prevent access by anyone who disagrees with their conditions. It is not open science. #NCBI has none of those conditions for accessing sequence data. If someone wants to submit sequence data to GISAID, fine (we do). But please also submit your data to NCBI to ensure true open access by all.
