bioinfodlsu/phage-host-prediction

Published in PLOS ONE. Phage-host interaction prediction tool that uses protein language models to represent the receptor-binding proteins of phages. It presents improvements over using handcrafted sequence properties and eliminates the need to manually extract and select features from phage sequences

PHIEmbed helps microbiologists and researchers predict which bacterial hosts a bacteriophage (phage) is likely to infect. You provide the amino acid sequences of a phage's receptor-binding proteins, and it outputs a list of potential host bacterial genera along with a prediction score for each. This tool is for scientists working with phages for therapeutics, diagnostics, or environmental studies.

Use this if you need to quickly and accurately predict potential bacterial hosts for phages based on their receptor-binding protein sequences, without having to manually extract complex features.

Not ideal if you are looking for a tool that incorporates protein structural information, especially for phages with low sequence similarity to known phages.
