  1. Abbreviations: AMG, auxiliary metabolic gene; POV, Pacific Ocean virome; WAP, western Antarctic Peninsula.
  2. WAP temperate refers to temperate-enriched WAP viromes (summer free and both induced viromes). WAP lytic refers to the lytic-enriched WAP virome (spring free). Metabolism (AMGs) refers to metabolic genes not involved in DNA replication, recombination, and repair, or nucleotide metabolism. Shading scales with percentage for ease of comparison.
