taxmyPHAGE automates dsDNA phage genome taxonomy

“We created a MASH database for rapid searching of closely related phages, to then be compared with BLASTn to compute intergenomic similarity between bacteriophages.” The authors report that taxmyPHAGE is available as a conda repository and website for rapid classification of phage genomes into existing genera and species.
