- Title
Prophinder: a computational tool for prophage prediction in prokaryotic genomes.
- Authors
Gipsi Lima-Mendez; Jacques Van Helden; Ariane Toussaint; Raphaël Leplae
- Abstract
Summary: Prophinder is a prophage prediction tool coupled with a prediction database, a web server and web service. Predicted prophages will help to fill the gaps in the current sparse phage sequence space, which should cover an estimated 100 million species. Systematic and reliable predictions will enable further studies of prophages contribution to the bacteriophage gene pool and to better understand gene shuffling between prophages and phages infecting the same host.
