PhiSpy: a novel algorithm for finding prophages in bacterial genomes that combines similarity- and composition-based strategies

Prophages are phages in lysogeny that are integrated into, and replicated as part of, the host bacterial genome. These mobile elements can have tremendous impact on their bacterial hosts’ genomes and phenotypes, which may lead to strain emergence and diversification, increased virulence or antibioti...
