Phage annotation guide: Guidelines for assembly and high-quality annotation (2021)
Journal Article
Turner, D., Adriaenssens, E. M., Tolstoy, I., & Kropinski, A. M. (2021). Phage annotation guide: Guidelines for assembly and high-quality annotation. PHAGE Therapy, Applications, and Research, 2(4), 170-182. https://doi.org/10.1089/phage.2021.0013

All sequencing projects of bacteriophages (phages) should seek to report an accurate and comprehensive annotation of their genomes. This article defines 14 questions for those new to phage genomics that should be addressed before submitting a genome...

A roadmap for genome-based phage taxonomy (2021)
Journal Article
Turner, D., Kropinski, A. M., & Adriaenssens, E. M. (2021). A roadmap for genome-based phage taxonomy. Viruses, 13(3), Article 506. https://doi.org/10.3390/v13030506

Bacteriophage (phage) taxonomy has been in flux since its inception over four decades ago. Genome sequencing has put pressure on the classification system and recent years have seen significant changes to phage taxonomy. Here, we reflect on the state...
