Abstract excerpt
P2-like viruses (P2Vs), temperate phages of the Peduoviridae family, possess a lysogenic lifestyle that renders traditional isolation unsuitable, hindering our understanding of their diversity and ecological roles. Utilizing profile-hidden Markov models to analyze public databases, this study achieved four major advances: (1) Identified 5945 P2V genomes and built the P2V Genome Dataset (P2VGD), expanding known...
