Genome sequences of human anelloviruses in the <i>Lamedtorquevirus</i> , <i>Memtorquevirus</i> , and <i>Samektorquevirus</i> genera identified from the female genital tract
We identified and characterized seven anellovirus genome sequences in the female genital tract through virome metagenomic sequencing of cervicovaginal lavage specimens from women living with HIV in Peru. Phylogenetic and genomic analyses indicate that they belong to three newly proposed <i>Lamedtorquevirus</i>, <i>Memtorquevirus</i>, and <i>Samektorquevirus</i> genera in the <i>Anelloviridae</i> family.
