CheckV reference database v1.5 — unmodified mirror

This record is an unmodified mirror of checkv-db-v1.5.tar.gz, the reference database CheckV uses to estimate the completeness and contamination of viral genomes. Why this mirror exists. The database is distributed from portal.nersc.gov, which is periodically unreachable — an outage there blocks any pipeline that fetches it at run time. This copy is archived so such workflows, in particular BacFlux, stay runnable and reproducible while the official host is down. What it is. Byte-for-byte identical to the official archive: version 1.5 (10 January 2023), 1,681,539,865 bytes, SHA-256 10e20b58873dac7862bd7e4379434e93f23968eb1fdd8db5ddcd8e9815f2bc19 (see the accompanying .sha256 file). It unpacks to checkv-db-v1.5/ containing genome_db/ and hmm_db/. Nothing has been added, removed, re-indexed or re-compressed. Note that the archive intentionally ships no DIAMOND index: CheckV builds one on first use, and it must be built by the same DIAMOND version that will later query it. Disclaimer. CheckV and its database are the work of their authors at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; all credit and all rights remain theirs. This record asserts no authorship or ownership over the data and grants no rights beyond those the original distributors provide. It is not endorsed by the CheckV authors and does not replace or supersede the official source — please use the official download when it is reachable, and cite the paper below rather than this record.
