ProphET, prophage estimation tool: A stand-alone prophage sequence prediction tool with self-updating reference database.
<h4>Background</h4>Prophages play a significant role in prokaryotic evolution, often altering the function of the cell that they infect via transfer of new genes e.g., virulence or antibiotic resistance factors, inactivation of existing genes or by modifying gene expression. Recently, ph...
