Abstract

Here, using viral metagenomic method, a novel whale papillomavirus (temporarily named wPV, GenBank accession number OP856597) was discovered in a whale (Delphinapterus leucas) pharyngeal metagenomic library. The complete genome size of wPV is 7179 bp, with GC content of 54.4% and a nucleotide composition of 23.4% A, 22.3% T, 28.4% G, and 25.9% C. The viral genome has a typical papillomavirus organization pattern, and five ORFs were predicted, including two late genes encoding L1 and L2, and three early genes encoding E1, E2, and E6. Pairwise sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis based on the L1 gene sequence indicated that wPV may be a novel species within genus Dyodeltapapillomavirus. In addition, the E2 region of wPV was predicted to have a potential recombination event. The discovery of this novel papillomavirus increases our understanding of the viral ecology of marine mammals, providing insights into possible future infectious diseases.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 March 2023.
All research outputs
#7,758,831
of 24,093,053 outputs
Outputs from Virology Journal
#923
of 3,202 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#136,544
of 404,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Virology Journal
#19
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,093,053 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,202 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 404,782 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
