TIP OF ICEBERG. “The number and diversity of viral sequences in reference databases are dwarfed by the sequences from their cellular hosts. As a result, state of the art taxonomic classification of viruses recognizes only several thousand viral species, a large fraction of which infect humans. This stands in sharp contrast with the diversity of the cellular organisms on which all viruses depend for their replication.”
