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 …

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

The majority of the bacterial genome sequences deposited in the National Center for
Biotechnology Information database contain prophage sequences. Analysis of the …

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

Prophages were automatically localized in se‐quenced bacterial genomes by a simple
semantic script leading to the identification of 190 prophages in 115 investigated genomes …

This work reports the method ClassiPhage to classify phage genomes using sequence
derived taxonomic features. ClassiPhage uses a set of phage specific Hidden Markov …

Epigraph There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of
conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. Mark Twain 1883 Life on the Mississippi …

Prophinder is a prophage prediction tool coupled with a prediction database, a web server
and web service. Predicted prophages will help to fill the gaps in the current sparse phage …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses evolutionary relationships between diverse
bacteriophages and prophages. The reported DNA and predicted protein sequence …
