STable 2 summarizes complete phage genomes annotated as infecting plant-associated bacterial hosts in the Virus–Host Database. The dataset was authored by Alejandra Huerta and last updated on May 4, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.
Use Cases
- Cataloging phage diversity based on host association with plant-associated bacteria.
- Comparative genomic analysis of phages infecting specific bacterial hosts.
- Ecological modeling of phage-host networks in plant-associated microbiomes.
- Evolutionary studies of phage genomes derived from the Virus-Host DB.
Strengths
- Dataset is derived from the authoritative Virus-Host Database.
- Focuses on a specific ecological niche: phages infecting plant-associated bacteria.
- License is permissive (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse and redistribution.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
