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 …

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 …

Phages and prophages are one of the principal modulators of microbial populations.
However, much of their diversity is still poorly understood. Here, we extracted 33,624 …

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 …

Advances in genome sequencing have produced hundreds of thousands of bacterial
genome sequences, many of which have integrated prophages derived from temperate …

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 …

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 …

Background Prophages play a significant role in prokaryotic evolution, often altering the
function of the cell that they infect via transfer of new genes eg, virulence or antibiotic …

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 …
