Multidimensional metrics for estimating phage abundance, distribution, gene density, and sequence coverage in metagenomes
Phages are the most abundant biological entities on Earth and play major ecological roles, yet the current sequenced phage genomes do not adequately represent their diversity, and little is known about the abundance and distribution of these sequenced genomes in nature. Although the study of phage e...
