  "summary": "High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has revolutionized virosphere exploration. However, characterizing highly divergent viral sequences remains a bottleneck known as Viral Dark Matter (VDM). Numerous tools were developed to unravel such diversity, but they usually require complex prior HTS data analysis processes. Consequently, a common bottleneck to VDM exploration is the manual, chained execution…",
