I am excited to share that our manuscript titled 'Defining the ESKAPE pathogen prophage repertoire with PHORAGER' is now available online as a preprint in BioRxiv! 🤩 (doi.org/10.64898/202...) Here we present PHORAGER, a Nextflow pipeline for the identification and quality assessment of prophages 🧬

The MHRA today released new guidance for #Phage therapy in the UK. This will provide direction for scientists and researchers working to make this treatment a reality for patients. 🔬 🧪 🔗 www.gov.uk/government/n...
Dr Colin Brown, deputy director at the UK Health Security Agency, responsible for AMR, said: 
 
“Phage therapy truly has the potential to transform the way we treat bacterial infections, especially as resistance to antibiotics grows. At UKHSA, we’re developing new ways to help increase phage therapy use and research, including a bacteriophage collection where scientists can both access and deposit phages. In time, we hope solutions like phage therapy can become a first-line treatment option.”
