BC phages have a single endolysin gene, this should be labeled "lysin A". |

Cluster BC phages have a gene that appears equivalent to capsid morphogenesis protein identified in the Cluster B phages when analyzed by HHPred. This gene should be labeled "capsid morphogenesis protein" for consistency. |

Cluster BB contains some phages that were not isolated and sequenced by the SEA-PHAGES program. Their finders annotated the genomes differently. We are taking on the QC of these genomes but haven't reviewed the files yet. These phages are: phiC31, TG1, and phiBT1 |

Cluster BA contains some phages that were not isolated and sequenced by the SEA-PHAGES program. Their finders chose a different bp1 than we did, and annotated their genomes differently. We do not curate, update, or QC these genomes. These phages are: SPB78, Sros11, and VWB. |

AV phages are myoviridae, and so encode tail tube and tail sheath proteins. |

AV phages encode a large tail protein called a tail spike that is the functional equivalent of a tail fiber. It is large enough to be visible in the TEM, and its structural domains are based on beta-prisms and helices, rather than alpha coiled coils. The most famous example is the tail spike of Salmonella phage P22. |

Cluster AS phages encode a tail protein called a "tail spike". Tail spike is equivalent in function to a tail fiber, however, is characterized by triple beta-prisms and beta-coils, resulting in a large structure visible in the TEM. Salmonella phage P22 is the most famous tailspike enabled phage. |

AS phages have two small terminase genes, one adjacent to the large subunit, the other in the right arm of teh genome. |

there is a single endolysin in cluster AT phages, it is found upstream of the capsid maturation protease and should be labeled "lysin A". |
