Table 2.

Insect-specific viruses discovered by de novo contig assembly of small RNA reads. Listed are the viruses for which a contig blast-hit was retrieved. Shown is the genome size of the subject, the nucleotide coverage of query contigs, the coverage expressed as percentage of query nucleotide coverage length compared to the length of the subject, the number of mismatching nucleotides between the query and the subject, and the percentage nucleotide identity between the query and the subject sequence.

* The discovered narnavirus-like virus appears to have an ambisense coding strategy, but is referred to as a (+)-strand RNA virus due to its phylogenetic connection with the Narnaviridae family.
