Curated Phage Database (CPD) fasta file

This is the fasta file including phage genomes used to generate the Curated Phage Database (CPD) utilized in our in review manuscript "The circulating phageome reflects bacterial infections". The corresponding phage characteristic data will be present in the manuscript as a supplemental file, and can be used to connect a Genbank ID to identified bacteriophage host and phage taxonomic information if known.

Please note that this database is built from phage sequences in the NCBI nucleotide repository. Due to field bias towards sequencing human disease-related bacteria and their phage, this database is reflective of this bias and is most representative of bacteriophage associated with human pathogens and as such underrepresents environmental phages in comparison - a limitation to keep in mind when utilizing to interpret potential phage sequences.
