Recent ICTV taxonomy updates significantly changed phage taxonomy, yet a thorough phage classification workflow doesn't exist. This study compares six categorization tools and establishes a novel multi-method approach, combining genome similarity and specialized protein analysis. Applying the method to APEC phage P151 showed consistent categorization across platforms. A possible workflow for phage classification is proposed; offering a versatile tool for phage research and development.

根据最近 ICTV 分类学修订对噬菌体分类方法的比较分析

最近的 ICTV 分类法更新显着改变了噬菌体分类法，但完整的噬菌体分类工作流程并不存在。这项研究比较了六种分类工具，并建立了一种新颖的多方法方法，将基因组相似性和专门的蛋白质分析相结合。将该方法应用于 APEC 噬菌体 P151，显示出跨平台的一致分类。提出了噬菌体分类的可能工作流程；为噬菌体研究和开发提供多功能工具。
