drVM is a tool for extracting known viral reads from metagenomics projects to automatically assemble their genomes. It is essentially a pipeline written in Python that integrates a few tools such as BLAST, SNAP, SPAdes, and khmer to reconstruct a variety of viral genomes among metagenomes. Additionally, it performs coverage profiling of the viruses.
