Name	VISTA
Type	Phylogeny and Molecular Evolution
Developers	Yiming Bao, Tao Zhang
Description	VISTA is a novel virus classification tool based on pairwise sequence comparison system. It not only applies to virus families that were previously difficult to classify, but also incorporates an automatic taxonomic threshold identification system, allowing for rapid and efficient classification assignment for each viral genome sequence. VISTA can generate frequency distributions of pairwise distances and use the positions of valleys between different peaks in the distribution to determine threshold values for each rank of assignment. Unlike most alignment-based virus classification methods, VISTA combines non-alignment methods with machine learning techniques to enhance its performance, successfully expanding its applicability to a wider range of viruses, making it a more versatile classification tool.
