## Description

The Actinobacteriophage Database, found at PhagesDB.org, is a hub for data, images, protocols, and tools related to mycobacteriophages - viruses that target Mycobacteria and other bacterial hosts in the Actinobacteria phylum. Developed and maintained by the Pittsburgh Bacteriophage Institute, led by Dr. Graham Hatfull and the late Dr. Roger Hendrix of the University of Pittsburgh, this website originated in response to the growing number of sequenced mycobacteriophage genomes over the years. Initially launched for internal use in 2010, PhagesDB now offers its resources externally. The site, powered by Django and Python, utilizes MySQL for database functions. Explore a plethora of information, including phage lists, gene content, GPS mapping, and publications. Delve into the world of bacteriophages and contribute to the realm of bioinformatics with the Actinobacteriophage Database.
