Clades of huge phages from across Earth’s ecosystems

Bacteriophages typically have small genomes(1) and depend on their bacterial hosts for replication(2). Here we sequenced DNA from diverse ecosystems and found hundreds of phage genomes with lengths of more than 200 kilobases (kb), including a genome of 735 kb, which is—to our knowledge—the largest p...
