Gut Phage Database: phage mining in the cave of wonders
Magdalena Unterer, Mohammadali Khan Mirzaei, Li Deng
Abstract
The diversity of the viruses in the human gut remains mostly unexplored. To shed some light on this known unknown, Camarillo-Guerrero et al. 1 developed the Gut Phage Database (GPD), which includes 142,809 non-redundant gut phages obtained from analyzing 28,060 shotgun metagenome datasets.
