We report the genome of a circular replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding segmented or satellite virus, which we have provisionally named rengasvirus. In metagenomic studies of virus-enriched fractions, rengasvirus was detected widely, including in reagent-negative controls. We thus report this genome to help others recognize a probable contaminating sequence.
