Whole-genome of Mexican-crAssphage isolated from the human gut microbiome.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

crAssphage is a newly found phage described as the most abundant virus in the human gut microbiome. The majority of the crAssphage proteins are unknown in sequences databases, and its pathogenicity and epidemiology in humans are yet unclear. Hence, being one of the most abundant phages in the human gut microbiome more investigation at the genomic level is necessary to improve our understanding, especially in the Latin American population.

Data description

In this article, we provide the whole genome of a crAssphage isolated from the human gut microbiome of the Mexican population, which was named Mexican-crAssphage. The genome consists of 96,283 bp, G+C content of 29.24% and 87 coding sequences. Notably, we did not find any transfer RNA genes in the genome sequence
