Dataset of endogenized phage genes in Escherichia coli K-12

This work presents the set of
endogenized phage genes in Escherichia coli K-12. Original data for the
dataset was derived from annotated genome file of the microbe downloaded from
GenBank, which was parsed and searched by an in-house MATLAB genome analysis software.
The dataset comprises gene name, gene function, and gene sequence of each
endogenized phage gene in the microbe. Overall, the data should serve as useful
starter for initiating understanding of why particular phage genes remain
endogenized in the host genome, and deciphering how evolutionary forces and
host transposase has reshaped endogenized phage genes.
