Where this comes from

Abstract

Bacteriophages (phages) are incredibly abundant and genetically diverse. The volume of phage genomics data is rapidly increasing, driven in part by the SEA-PHAGES program, which isolates, sequences and manually annotates hundreds of phage genomes each year. With an ever-expanding genomics dataset, there are many opportunities for generating new biological insights through comparative genomic and bioinformatic analyses. As a result, there is a growing need to be able to store, update, explore and analyze phage genomics data. The package pdm_utils provides a collection of tools for MySQL phage database management designed to meet specific needs in the SEA-PHAGES program and phage genomics generally. https://pypi.org/project/pdm-utils/.
