When citing Phamerator, I know that the site said that we could use the website address (http://phamerator.org). What is the best way to refer to the software in annotation papers and what is the current version number? I've seen it described different ways…Phamerator v520….Phamerator v3….Phamerator Actino_prophage v5….Phamerator Actino_Draft v.459… Thanks! |

If you are writing an article and need to cite the tool phamerator: Cresawn SG, Bogel M, Day N, Jacobs-Sera D, Hendrix RW, Hatfull GF. 2011. Phamerator: a bioinformatic tool for comparative bacteriophage genomics. BMC Bioinformatics 12:395. Phamerator can use many different databases. If you go to the front page of phamerator on the web, the database you are using is selected at the top left. Since you are asking here I will assume you are using the main Actino_Draft database. However other specialized databases are availabe to some users, this is why you must login to use phamerator. If you want the current version of the Actino_Draft database it is always posted here: https://databases.hatfull.org/Actino_Draft/. On that page if you click on the Actino_Draft.version link you will see the current version which as of yesterday July 21st 2025 was v606. PECAAN, Phamerator and Phagesdb all update automatically as each version is released. This can be confirmed in various ways depending on the web site. |
