From: VITAP: a high precision tool for DNA and RNA viral classification based on meta-omic data

The VITAP contains two main parts: the update part enables to generate the VITAP-specific database based on current viral taxonomic information from ICTV; the prediction part utilizes previously built database to perform taxonomic assignment. The VITAP utilized an algorithm to determine the best-fit taxonomic lineage, and provides result with various confidence level.
