This is the source code of our website [PhaBOX2](https://phage.ee.cityu.edu.hk), consisting of the latest updates of our previously released programs: PhaMer, PhaGCN, CHERRY/HostG, and PhaTYP.

Please download this local version for large-scale sequencing data and use more threads to speed up the program.

**If you like our tool, please give us a star on GitHub. This will provide power for our ongoing maintenance, thanks！**

## ⌛️&nbsp; News

PhaBOX has now been upgraded to the 2.0 version with faster speed!

There are some major components, including:

🎉 Generalized for all kinds of viruses; more than just bacteriophage

🎉 Virus identification (latest PhaMer)

🎉 Taxonomy classification (latest PhaGCN)

🎉 Host prediction (latest CHERRY/HostG)

🎉 Lifestyle prediction (latest PhaTYP)

🎉 Contamination/provirus detection

🎉 vOTU grouping

🎉 Phylogenetic tree based on marker genes

🎉 Viral protein annotation

🎉 All the databases are updated to the latest ICTV 2024 release

If you have any more suggestions, feel free to let me know! We consider long-term maintenance PhaBOX and adding modules according to your needs

You can post an issue or directly email me (jiayushang@cuhk.edu.hk). We welcome any suggestions.

## 🚀&nbsp; Quick Start
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you are a new user, please check our [WIKI](https://github.com/KennthShang/PhaBOX/wiki) page. We provide a tutorial to help you get started quickly and understand how to use PhaBOX2. We hope you will enjoy it!

If you are familiar with the PhaBOX2, please check our [Update log](https://github.com/KennthShang/PhaBOX/wiki/Update-logs). We may have some updates to the program to make it more useful. If you want to use the latest version, please also [upgrade your PhaBOX2](https://github.com/KennthShang/PhaBOX/wiki#upgrading-phabox)

> For users who may want to use the biocontainers (Docker) to install PhaBOX, please find the installation steps below:
> https://quay.io/repository/biocontainers/phabox
> However, this is an automatically generated container by Bioconda; please check the version and updates in our Wiki before using it.

## 🚀&nbsp; The Most Recent Update Logs

### 2.2 Mar 31, 2026
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you did not upgrade the database to v2.2, please update it as below:
> `wget https://github.com/KennthShang/PhaBOX/releases/download/v2/phabox_db_v2_2.zip`
> This has been updated according to the latest taxonomy information provided by the NCBI Taxonomy database

### 2.1.13 Oct 17, 2025
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The main upgrade is the host prediction module (CHERRY)
> We have added two major features:
> 1. Provide tRNA-based host prediction results (if bacteria/archaea MAGs are provided)
> 2. Provide a new file `cherry_multihost_prediction.tsv` containing the multi-host prediction results (if bacteria/archaea MAGs are provided)

### 2.1.12 June 30, 2025

> [!IMPORTANT]
>  New functions were added to the taxonomy classification (--phagcn), host prediction (--cherry), and phylogenetic tree (--tree)
>  1. The taxonomy classification task allows classification of viruses at the species level.
>  2. The Host prediction task allows the user to provide the GTDB-tk taxonomy file (gtdbtk.tsv) for high-confidence filtering and labeling (--bgtdb gtdbtk.tsv).
>  3. The phylogenetic tree task allows running MSA and tree construction without genes from the database (--msadb Y or N).
>  4. A marker_stats.tsv file (information of marker genes in the database) will be copied to the final_prediction folder once the tree task is finished.

### 2.1.11 March 6, 2025

> [!IMPORTANT]
> New functions were added to the cherry host prediction task
> We also adjust the host prediction logic as below:
> 1. CRISPRs from MAGs (if MAGs were provided)
> 2. BLASTN (prophage) from MAGs (if MAGs were provided)
> 3. Protein organization compared to the viruses in the database
> 4. Kmer frequency compared to MAGs (if MAGs were provided)
> 5. CRISPRs from the database

New added parameters in `--task cherry`
```
--prophage
     Minimum alignment length for estimating potential prophage || default: 1000 || range from 0 to 100000
```

### 2.1.10 Dec 26, 2024
