Number of complete phage genomes in GenBank over time. Dates were estimated based on date of submission (for 235 genomes, the date of update was used as no submission date was available). The reference lines showing doubling rates (dashed) begin in 1989, as this is when the number of phage genomes increased beyond the first submission in 1982.
