Cook, R., Brown, N., Redgwell, T., Rihtman, B., Barnes, M., Clokie, M., Stekel, D.J., Hobman, J., Jones, M.A., Millard, A., 2021. INfrastructure for a PHAge REference database: Identification of large-scale biases in the current collection of cultured phage genomes. PHAGE.

After several years and thanks to the work of Ryan Cook , we compiled some code that allow easy reproduction of the genomes we extract from Genbank every month that we display on the Bacteriophage Genomes pages. With scripts to easily compare against the database
