img_virus_plasmid
A catalogue combining uncultivated viral genomes from IMG/VR v4 and plasmid sequences from IMG/PR with metadata.
What img_virus_plasmid is
img_virus_plasmid is a microbial genomics resource released by wanglab that unites records from two major genomic collections: IMG/VR v4 and IMG/PR. IMG/VR provides uncultivated virus genomes, whilst IMG/PR contains plasmid sequences extracted from both isolate genomes and metagenomes.
By combining these databases, the dataset brings together extrachromosomal and mobile genetic elements within a unified framework that incorporates functional, taxonomic, and ecological metadata for researchers in biology, genomics, and biotechnology.
How it was made
The dataset integrates uncultivated viral sequences from IMG/VR v4 with plasmids recovered from cellular genomes and environmental metagenomes catalogued in IMG/PR. Entries are structured with associated metadata detailing their functional capabilities, taxonomic classifications, and ecological environments.
