Maximum-likelihood parsimony phylogenetic tree with 1171 external genomes from previously published GVMAGs and 10 GVMAGs from this study. According to the tree, the retrieved GVMAGs cluster in correspondence of the Asfuvirales (3), Imitervirales (6), and Algavirales (1) orders. VGMAGs originated from this study are highlighted by the corresponding environmental sample type symbol. Branches are color-coded by order-level taxonomy. Cultured isolate virus references of interest are labeled in their approximate location along the branches with the following abbreviations: African swine fever virus (ASFV), Heterosigma akashiwo Virus 01 isolate HaV53 (HaV53), Tetraselmis Virus (TetV), Pyramimonas orientalis Virus 01b (PoV-01b), Phaeocystis globosa Virus (PgV)
