Snippet: One hypothesis to explain this slower growth of sequence diversity is that many of the existing viruses infecting humans have already been discovered and new isolates deposited are variants of well studied viruses. We charted the growth of viral taxonomic groups as a function of time to visualize trends in viral discovery (Figure 1c ). The number of families and genera has remained stable since 1996; however, the number of sequences that have bee.....
Document: One hypothesis to explain this slower growth of sequence diversity is that many of the existing viruses infecting humans have already been discovered and new isolates deposited are variants of well studied viruses. We charted the growth of viral taxonomic groups as a function of time to visualize trends in viral discovery (Figure 1c ). The number of families and genera has remained stable since 1996; however, the number of sequences that have been classified as a new species has steadily risen. A least squares fit of this growth indicates that the steady increase in new species characterization is likely to continue, while the discovery of new viral families will be less common.
