Prophages are phages in lysogeny that are integrated into, and replicated as part of, the
host bacterial genome. These mobile elements can have tremendous impact on their …

Identifying active prophages is critical for studying coevolution of phage and bacteria,
investigating phage physiology and biochemistry, and engineering designer phages for …

Prophage loci often remain under-annotated or even unrecognized in prokaryotic genome
sequencing projects. A PHP application, Prophage Finder, has been developed and …

Abstract PHAST (PHAge Search Tool) and its successor PHASTER (PHAge Search Tool–
Enhanced Release) have become two of the most widely used web servers for identifying …

Abstract PHAge Search Tool (PHAST) is a web server designed to rapidly and accurately
identify, annotate and graphically display prophage sequences within bacterial genomes or …

Prophages are phages that are integrated into bacterial genomes and which are key to
understanding many aspects of bacterial biology. Their extreme diversity means they are …

Phage_Finder, a heuristic computer program, was created to identify prophage regions in
completed bacterial genomes. Using a test dataset of 42 bacterial genomes whose …

Over a century of bacteriophage research has uncovered a plethora of fundamental aspects
of their biology, ecology, and evolution. Furthermore, the introduction of community-level …

Phigaro is a standalone command-line application that is able to detect prophage regions
taking raw genome and metagenome assemblies as an input. It also produces dynamic …

Extensive research is currently being conducted on the use of bacteriophages for
applications in human medicine, agriculture and food manufacturing. However, phages are …
