Phage Annotation Guide: Guidelines for Assembly and High-Quality Annotation
Dann Turner, Evelien M. Adriaenssens, Igor Tolstoy, Andrew M. Kropinski
Abstract
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 sequence to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration or writing a publication.
