P.425 left column top paragraph: "There are an estimated 10^31 viral particles infecting microbial populations [ref 4 & see BNID 110706], yet fewer than 2,200 genomes from double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses and retroviruses are deposited in NCBI, compared to over 45,000 bacterial genomes [primary source]." |
