Figure 1. Flow chart illustrating the two classification systems. A summary of the identification of novel genera within the workflow for identifying novel taxonomy is presented in red and based on the proposed roadmap to genome-based phage taxonomy as outlined by Turner et al. (2021)^[12]. The workflow for the recognition of novel subclusters within the Actinobacteriophage Database classification system is presented in blue. In the centre is the proposed overlap between the two systems (purple), which proposes that a single genus can be assigned to a single subcluster.
