Investigation of jumbo phages in sewage influent water by metagenomic approach. wastewater metagenome

In recent years, many phages have been isolated from the environment due to the rise of phage research. In particular, many phages have been isolated from sewage. Among the phages isolated, it has been revealed that there are phages with larger genomes than expected ( called jumbo phages). The jumboIt is difficult to classify giant phages due to their low genetic similarity. Thus, it is necessary to collect more data. In this project, we conducted a metagenomic analysis to search for unknown giant phage.
