HoPhage

HoPhage (Host of Phage) is a computational tool that integrates two modules respectively using the deep learning and the Markov chain model to identify the host of a given phage fragment from metagenome or metavirome data at the genus level. HoP demonstrates a superior performance on short fragments within a wide candidate host range at every taxonomic level when testing on the artificial benchmark dataset of artificial phage contigs and the real virome data.
