Dear all,
I have the .fasta sequences of a phage and a bacterial strain. I would like to know if this phage can invade the bacterium I am studying. What type of tools could you advise me to use for this, please?
I thought about PHISDetector but it has a large database (>100 Gb) ..
Many thanks for your help!
Thank you for your kind reply, I want to analyze specifically the bacterium I have the fasta file of. Indeed, PB-LKS provided a predicted probability that the bacteria is the host of the phage, but I would like to know if other tools could help me to know is there is a risk of invasion.
BLAST your query phage genome against genomes of bacteria (e.g., I would recommend the GTDB database) and check which other bacterial strains or species appear in the results besides your bacterial strain of interest.
