Hello, sorry to open this as an issue but it is more of a query. Is it possible to use ViralRecall to get viruses of the specific algal genome (chlorella) from the metagenomics dataset? Thank you for your suggestions.

Yes I would recommend binning your contigs first, and then running ViralRecall on the bins to see which ones are viral.
