Yes it is sgurney, and I would like it to be switched. Thank you.

Is your username sgurney? If so I can switch your institution to "University of St Andrews" if that's how you want it to be exactly.

Who do we email to get admin access to PECAAN? I have a login already, but it's through my previous Institution (Drexel University). Should I make a new account so I can link myself to the University of St Andrews and add students?
Thank you

Hi, I am trying to use PhamNexus on the seaphage 2020 VM. When I open it and search for updates to the database it says there are no updates available. When I click through to select files there are no cluster names or phage names or listed for me to select. How can I access the files on the database?

Thank you

What are we calling the gene in the B cluster with pfam hits to holin, discussed above?. Phage Inverness gp16 has 95% probability with 40% coverage to holin on HHPRED. HHPRED results in the attachment. There are still only 13 B cluster phages calling holin and the rest calling Hypothetical protein.

I am a little confused with our current calling of membrane proteins. Should we be calling membrane proteins as functions within our annotations? From PhagesDB and Phamerator it looks like there is a move away from that.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

I am doing QC for a DE genome, where there are a number of Membrane Protein functions called. SOSUI, TMHMM and Topcons all support at least 2 transmembrane domains, but no other phages have called membrane proteins for these genes.

I just want to check that we are still calling membrane protein as a function if there is evidence for it?
