Generation of the Unified Ruminant Phage Catalogue (URPC) using 2333 GIT microbiome samples from ten GIT sites and eight ruminant species. The upper-left panel shows a graphical representation of the ruminant gastrointestinal tract (GIT), with arrows indicating the direction of food flow through the stomach. The GIT sites in this study are divided into ten sections. The bottom-left panel shows the number of samples taken from the GIT sites or sections of the ruminants. The top-right panel shows the rarefaction analysis of the unique number of VPs ( Y -axis) as a function of collected samples ( X -axis), while the bottom-right panel shows the statistics on the identified phages from each of the eight ruminant species, including the number, genome size and taxonomy.
