RefSeq Datasets for benchmarking - Ho et al.

All complete phage genomes deposited in RefSeq between 1 January 2020 and 12 August 2021 quality controlled, dereplicated, and fragmented to create a positive set of artificial contigs. These were then also randomly shuffled to produce a further negative control.

All complete bacterial and archaeal chromosomes deposited in RefSeq between 1 January 2020 and 12 August 2021 quality controlled, dereplicated, subsetted, and fragmented to create a negative set of artificial contigs.  

All complete bacterial and archaeal plasmids deposited in RefSeq between 1 January 2020 and 12 August 2021 quality controlled, dereplicated, subsetted, and fragmented to create a negative set of artificial contigs.
