Distributions of the URPC phages in animal hosts and GIT sites. A The distribution of the URPC phages at the viral population (VP) level across the animal hosts. The UpSet pot shows the numbers of unique and shared VPs for the eight ruminant animals, while the bar chart shows the number of animal hosts for the VPs. B The distributions of the URPC phages at the viral cluster (VC) level across the animal hosts (left) and GIT sites (right). C An UpSet plot shows the overlaps between the broad-range phages (i.e., those that were found in two or more ruminant species) and the phage genomes collected in the IMG/VR v3 database (“Methods” section). D Top 50 most diverse VCs, ordered by their cluster size. The color and size of the VCs correspond to the number of animal hosts in which they were found. E Characterizations of the top 10 VCs, including the size, distributions in the GIT sites and animal hosts, genome size, and lifestyle. Lifestyles of phage in each VCs were predicted by DeePhage, which classified phages into four groups, including virulent (red), uncertain virulent (pink), uncertain temperate (light blue), and temperate (dark blue). Dark green and light green respectively indicate whether VCs are found in the public datasets
