Have you tried PhageTerm? It's a new tool for fast and accurate determination of phage termini and packaging mechanism using next-generation sequencing data.

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, the Modular Viromics Pipeline is for you!

Looking to find phage sequences in your metagenomic data? A new tool, Jaeger, finds more true positives, fewer false positives, in a reduced runtime!

Phables, a new computational method developed by Vijini Mallawaarachchi and colleagues, resolves phage genomes from fragmented viral metagenome assemblies, enabling the recovery of over 49% more high-quality phage genomes compared to existi

Katelyn McNair, the creator of Phanotate, has introduced a new tool called Genotate, designed to identify and predict coding genes in phage genomes. Now in final stages of development, it’s built to take your phage genome annotation and an

Due to technical limitations, most gut microbiome studies have focused on prokaryotes, overlooking viruses. Yishay Pinto and colleagues have published a new paper on Phanta: a new method for quickly and simply identifying and quantifying ph

David Wishart and colleagues have introduced PHASTEST (PHAge Search Tool with Enhanced Sequence Translation) as a faster and more accurate web server for annotating prophage sequences and bacterial genomes. In standardized tests, PHASTEST o

Ellina Trofimova has developed a new version of her Plaque Size Tool that doesn't require installation on Google Colab.

Zhou et al. published a new paper in Frontiers in Genetics entitled PhageTailFinder: A Tool for Predicting Bacteriophage Tail-Related Proteins.

Paper: MetaPhage: an automated pipeline for analyzing, annotating, and classifying bacteriophages in metagenomics sequencing data.

Preprint: Hecatomb: an end-to-end research platform for viral metagenomics.

Preprint: Phanta: Phage-inclusive profiling of human gut metagenomes.

Tool: Pharokka, a dedicated fast phage annotation tool inspired by prokka. Pharokka is designed for users who want one-line, rapid, standarised and scalable phage annotations, much like prokka for prokaryotes.

Paper: Exodus: an open source tool for phage quantification by BiomX.

Olivier Zablocki shares an updated ecosystem of microbiome/virome apps and guides (iVirus 2), which are freely available to run on CyVerse & DOE KBase. Learn more with their new perspective piece.

I would like to introduce Phage Commander, a new genome annotation tool that runs a genome through multiple gene calling programs simultaneously and outputs the results to a single spreadsheet. Phage Commander includes the following program

Exodus is an open source tool for detection and quantification of phage pooled together in a single sample. It allows for accurate quantification of known phage, even when they are sequenced alongside with other very similar phages.

Carlos Martinez-Soto (University of Guelph, Canada) and colleagues published a new paper in Viruses showing PHIDA: A high throughput turbidimetric data analytic tool to compare host range profiles of bacteriophages isolated using different

Conventional homology-based comparative genomic analyses can only do so much in extracting information from databases. We used phages to test our comparative genomics tool (CALANGO) that considers annotation terms besides sequence data. By
