What is this repo

TL;DR

• WtP is a scalable and easy-to-use workflow for phage identification and analysis. Our tool currently combines 12 established phage identification tools
• An attempt to streamline the usage of various phage identification and prediction tools
• The main focus is stability and data filtering/analysis for the user
• The tool is intended for assembled fasta files to predict phages in contigs
• Proper prophage detection is not implemented - but CheckV reports them
• A full report can be found here
