A recently isolated jumbo phage that targets the lung pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia, φMatilda, exhibits a unique genome architecture. The genome of φMatilda encodes two distinct large bidirectional elements at the genome termini, both o

The 2026 INPHARED snapshot contained 28,777 complete phage genomes, about twice the 2021 collection, but novel species-level diversity did not rise proportionally and host bias persisted. bioRxiv

A Perl pipeline for downloading and filtering GenBank phage genomes, extracting taxonomy and host metadata, and generating downstream bioinformatics files. INPHARED repository

Phynteny is an open-source tool from the Edwards Lab (Grigson et al.) that uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) model trained on phage synteny, the conserved gene order across phages, to assign hypothetical phage proteins to a PHROG functio

Phold annotates bacteriophage genomes and metagenomes using protein structural homology. Its README describes translating protein sequences to Foldseek’s 3Di alphabet with ProstT5 before searching protein structures. Phold

PhageMine is open-source software for bacteriophage genomics, genome annotation and comparative phage genomics. Its Bioconda package has reached version 1.2.0; the developer invites researchers to try it and share feedback. Nnaemeka Emmanue

PhageBench contains 5,600 samples across phage screening, quality control and phenotype annotation tasks. Its evaluation found stronger-than-random performance on some tasks and limitations in complex sequence reasoning. ACL Anthology

Phage Australia announced its ISO 9001 quality-management registration in July 2025. phageaustralia.squarespace.com

Temiloluwa Akintade and Bello Abdul Hakeem presented genome annotation and characterization of Arthrobacter phage AnnabelLee at NISPET-Ibadan 2026 at the University of Ibadan. The work combined automated annotation with manual curation usin

Bent Petersen’s Danish-language public lecture course at Folkeuniversitetet Copenhagen is listed for two Tuesdays, September 29 and October 6, 2026, from 18:15 to 20:00 at CSS. It covers phage biology and potential therapeutic applications.
