Accurate identification of phage virion protein is not only a key step for understanding the function of the phage virion protein but also helpful for further understanding the lysis mechanism of the bacterial cell. Since traditional experimental met...
Bacteriophage proteins are viruses that can significantly impact on the functioning of bacteria and can be used in phage based therapy. The functioning of Bacteriophage in the host bacteria depends on its location in those host cells. It is very impo...
Bacterial viruses, also called bacteriophages, display a great genetic diversity and utilize unique processes for infecting and reproducing within a host cell. All these processes were investigated and indexed in the ViralZone knowledge base. To faci...

Phages, as obligate bacterial and archaeal parasites, constitute a virus group of paramount ecological significance due to their exceptional abundance and genetic diversity. These biological entities serve as critical regulators in Earth's ecosystems...
MOTIVATION: Identifying bacteriophages (phages) within metagenomic sequences is essential for understanding microbial community dynamics. Transformer-based foundation models have been successfully employed to address various biological challenges. Ho...
Identifying phage-host interactions (PHIs) is a crucial step in developing phage therapy, which is the promising solution to addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance in superbugs. However, the lifestyle of phages, which strongly depends on their...
Phages, the natural predators of bacteria, were discovered more than 100 years ago. However, increasing antimicrobial resistance rates have revitalized phage research. Methods that are more time-consuming and efficient than wet-laboratory experiments...
Bacteriophages are the viruses that infect bacterial cells. They are the most diverse biological entities on earth and play important roles in microbiome. According to the phage lifestyle, phages can be divided into the virulent phages and the temper...
