Only entries indicating "complete genome" in the DEFINITION field of the GeneBank file and which host taxonomy was specified at least at the genus level were included. Entries annotated as "prophage" in the DEFINITION were removed. Hosts annotated as Salmonella Typhimurium were re-annotated as Salmonella enterica according to current nomenclature [47 (link)]. Finally, only the genus was taken into account for hosts with species specified as "sp." followed by an alphanumeric code; for example Synechococcus sp. WH7803 was re-annotated as Synechococcus. 2196 phages had annotated host genus, here called dataset, and of these, 1871 had annotated species as well, . A total of 209 different host species and 129 different genera were represented among the phages (this data is available in HostPhinder’s repository [48 ]).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
