About PhaGenome
An integrated phage genome analysis platform — free, open-access, built exclusively for bacteriophage research
🧬
End-to-End Analysis
From raw FASTA to publication-ready figures — no switching between multiple tools or command lines.
🛡
Regulatory Safety Screening
Automated AMR and toxin gene detection against CARD v3.2.6 and VFDB 2024 databases with safety certificate.
🗺
Publication-Ready Maps
Circular and linear genome maps exportable as SVG — formatted for direct journal figure submission.
🌳
Phylogenetic Trees
Maximum likelihood phylogeny via IQ-TREE on Galaxy Europe for evolutionary context and classification.
🔬
tRNA Significance
Detected tRNAs interpreted for biological significance — host range, fitness advantage, moron elements.
📚
Student Friendly
Step-by-step guided interface with plain-language explanations of every result — designed for learning.
⚡
Free & Open Access
No registration required. No usage limits. Free for all researchers globally — always.
🔒
Secure Architecture
API keys hidden server-side. Your sequences are not stored permanently. Privacy by design.
