Soils from six continents add up to largest database of viruses beneath our feet

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Scientists have plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to put together the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created. But what are all those viruses doing in the soil? More than 97 percent are considered “viral dark matter” that have no known function, no connection to a specific host.
