Phables is a new method to resolve phage genomes from fragmented viral metagenomic assemblies. This article by Vijini Mallawaarachchi and colleagues shows how Phables identifies phage-like components, models each component, and identifies g

iPHoP, from the DOE Joint Genome Institute, is a two-step framework that integrates multiple methods to predict host taxonomy at the genus rank for viruses infecting bacteria and archaea while retaining a low false discovery rate. Applied t

INHERIT combines database-based and alignment-free phage identification using deep representation learning. It achieved an F1 score of 0.9932 on a third-party benchmark; pre-training on two species separately improved prediction. bioRxiv
