## Description

PHASTEST is an advanced web server designed to facilitate the quick identification, annotation, and visualization of prophage sequences within bacterial genomes and plasmids. Built as an enhancement over its predecessors, PHAST and PHASTER, PHASTEST significantly improves speed and accuracy, processing typical bacterial genomes in just 3.2 minutes or as quickly as 1.3 minutes with pre-annotated GenBank files. This cutting-edge tool provides comprehensive genome annotations that include protein-coding regions, tRNA, and rRNA sequences, while also offering enhanced visualization features. Users can create, edit, and interact with publication-quality genome maps in both linear and circular formats, allowing for detailed exploration through zooming, panning, and rotation. Supported by notable organizations such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Genome Canada, PHASTEST represents a substantial leap forward in genomic analysis and is an invaluable resource for researchers in the field. The tool encourages interactive user engagement and is a cornerstone for those conducting cutting-edge studies in bacteriology and virology.
