Abstract

For the first time, we characterized viromes from the epipelagic zone of three Lake Baikal basins. We determined alpha and beta diversity of viral communities, carried out functional annotation of reads, built whole genome sequences of viruses, detected auxiliary metabolic genes, and evaluated environmental factors affecting the quantitative and qualitative characteristic of viral communities.
