Hosted by the JGI and co-organized with NIST, the goal of the Viral EcoGenomics & Applications (VEGA) symposium was to bring together a “Viral EcoGenomics” community to foster discussion on how to best capture and characterize uncultivated viruses, understand the role of viruses in natural ecosystems, and functionally explore viral genetic diversity toward innovative biotechnological and industrial applications.
