Extended Data Fig. 1: Rank abundance and placement of identifiable viral populations.

Rank abundance and placement of identifiable viral populations. From right to left: Right-most column is a rank abundance plot, where the most abundant viral contigs are at the top and the least abundant at the bottom. Cumulative abundances across all time points are shown, there are the product of normalization as stated in the methods. Middle columns show (i) In black, the positions of contigs with high (> 95% ID over 5kb) identity to previously identified virus sequences in databases, n = 746 (Details in Supplementary Tables). Due to constraints on visible line thickness, they appear to represent a majority of contigs, but note they are only 746 out of 19,907 total contigs (See details on Supplementary Tables); (ii) Green lines show viral contigs identified as cyanophage n = 73 (Supplementary Tables). (iii) Maroon lines show viral contigs identified as Pelagibacter phages n = 68 (Supplementary Tables). (iv) Red lines show viral contigs that are nearly identical, > 99% ID over at least 40 kb at the nucleotide level to previously described viruses (Supplementary Tables). Left-most panel shows genomic diagrams from selected contigs and their identified hit in databases (>99% identity), all drawn to the same scale. Remarkably, all these illustrations represent Synechococcus phages isolated off the coast of California.
