PhageTB - Phage based therapy against Bacteria


Welcome to lytic phage prediction page


This module predicts the lytic phage that is likely to infect the query bacteria based on its genome sequence. The user can paste the genome sequence of the bacteria or upload a .FASTA file containing the sequence. Based on the observation that similar bacteria are likely to be infected by the same phage, this module finds the bacterial host that has the highest genetic similarity with the query bacteria using BLAST alignment against the reference database of known and predicted phage-host interactions. The phage corresponding to the top hit is predicted as the lytic phage for the query bacteria. . For more information please visit HELP.
