  "summary": "Animal-derived viruses have repeatedly caused human outbreaks, motivating efforts to identify and characterize viruses circulating in animals. Virome sequencing has accelerated animal virus discovery, but phenotypic characterization remains difficult to scale. Although generated for viral detection, virome RNA-seq data also capture host transcriptional responses to infection. Here, we developed…",
