INfrastructure for a PHAge REference Database: Identification of Large-Scale Biases in the Current Collection of Cultured Phage Genomes
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Abstract Background With advances in sequencing technology and decreasing costs, the number of bacteriophage genomes that have been sequenced has increased markedly in the last decade. Materials and Methods We developed an automated retrieval and analysis system for bacteriophage genomes, INPHARED ( https://github.com/RyanCook94/inphared ), that provides data in a consistent format. Results As of January 2021, 14,244 complete phage genomes have been sequenced. The data set is dominated by phages that infect a small number of bacterial genera, with 75% of phages isolated only on 30 bacterial genera. There is further bias with significantly more lytic phage genomes than temperate within the database, resulting in ~54% of temperate phage genomes originating from just three host genera. Within phage genomes, putative antibiotic resistance genes were found in higher frequencies in temperate phages than lytic phages. Conclusion We provide a mechanism to reproducibly extract complete phage genomes and highlight some of the biases within this data, that underpins our current understanding of phage genomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
