Functional annotation of Phage isolates using bioinformatics pipeline – multiPhATE

         With increasing knowledge of phage genome sequences, it has become essential to look at the functional annotation of phage isolates. multiPhATE or multiple-genome Phage Annotation toolkit and Evaluator is one such bioinformatics pipeline which calls for annotation pipeline PhATE. The pipeline has a modular structure.

          Zhou C. et.al.(2019) have demonstrated this pipeline for recently sequenced phage genomes of Yersinia Pestis. multiPhATE has been implemented in Python 3.7. and can be run on a linux or unix machine.The open source code is available at the following URL: https://github.com/carolzhou/multiPhATE.
