PhageTerm: a tool for fast and accurate determination of phage termini and packaging mechanism using next-generation sequencing data

Abstract The worrying rise of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is leading to a renewed interest in bacteriophages as a treatment option. Novel sequencing technologies enable description of an increasing number of phage genomes, a critical piece of information to understand their life cyc...
