MetaPhage: an Automated Pipeline for Analyzing, Annotating, and Classifying Bacteriophages in Metagenomics Sequencing Data.

ABSTRACT: Phages are the most abundant biological entities on the planet, and they play an important role in controlling density, diversity, and network interactions among bacterial communities through predation and gene transfer. To date, a variety of bacteriophage identification tools have been developed that differ in the phage mining strategies used, input files requested, and results produced. However, new users attempting bacteriophage analysis can struggle to select the best methods and interpret the variety of results produced. Here, we present MetaPhage, a comprehensive reads-to-report pipeline that streamlines the use of multiple phage miners and generates an exhaustive report. The report both summarizes and visualizes the key findings and enables further exploration of key results via int
