Phylogenetic Trees for SBL Virus Gene Families

Phylogeny data contains phylogenetic trees and multiple sequence alignments for genes from SBL viruses, including the Nucleocytoviricota (NCLDV) and PF families. The dataset, created by Yao Xiong, is 690.4 KB in size and was last updated in April 2026. It is shared in Newick (NW, NWK) file formats.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct evolutionary relationships between SBL virus genes using the provided phylogenetic trees.
• Analyze sequence conservation and divergence within NCLDV and PF gene family alignments.
• Use tree topologies and branch lengths to estimate evolutionary rates for specific viral genes.
• Validate new phylogenetic inference methods by comparing results against the provided reference trees.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.
• Includes data for two specific viral gene families (NCLDV and PF).
• Last updated in April 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 690.4 KB, suggesting limited scope or a small number of trees/alignments.
• No row count or detailed metadata is provided to assess the number of trees or sequences.
• Geographic or host origin of the viral sequences is not specified.
