Genomic islands (GIs) are integrative mobile DNAs shared among bacteria or archaea, often bringing cargo genes that affect bacterial phenotypes like virulence and metabolism; many are prophages with utility in therapy. We applied our TIGER and Islander software to ~460,000 prokaryotic genomes, yielding a large database containing ~1.75 million GIs.
