A closed Candidatus Odinarchaeum chromosome exposes Asgard archaeal viruses

Genome sequences and phylogenetic data for a closed Candidatus Odinarchaeum chromosome and associated viruses. The dataset includes 25 files across 5 directories, containing nucleotide and amino acid sequences, annotations, and phylogenetic trees. Daniel Tamarit created this dataset, which is associated with a 2022 Nature Microbiology publication.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics of Asgard archaea based on the provided genome sequences.
• Phylogenetic analysis of archaeal viruses using the included sequence alignments and tree files.
• Annotation and characterization of mobile genetic elements based on the mobile_element_genome_sequences directory.
• Study of virus-host co-evolution using the paired Odinarchaeum and virus genome sequences.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 25 distinct files providing multiple data types (genome sequences, annotations, phylogenetic trees).
• Data is structured into 5 logical directories (e.g., viruses_genome_sequences, phylogenomic_analysis) for organized access.
• Associated with a peer-reviewed publication (Tamarit et al, 2022, Nature Microbiology).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
