# PhageBoost
Rapid discovery of novel prophages using biological feature engineering and machine learning
TBA

## Introduction
![Predictions](fig1a.png)
Prophage predictor based on gene features against a background.

Prophages are phages integrated into prokaryotic genomes that drive many aspects of bacterial biology. Their extreme diversity means they are challenging to detect using sequence similarity. We present a novel fast and generalizing machine learning method to facilitate novel phage discovery.

## Getting Started
### Installation
###
For now PhageBoost needs XGBoost 1.02

#### from PyPI
```
conda create -y -n PhageBoost-env python=3.7
conda activate PhageBoost-env
pip install PhageBoost
PhageBoost -h
```

#### from GitHub

```
conda create -y -n PhageBoost-env python=3.7
conda activate PhageBoost-env
git clone [email protected]:ku-cbd/PhageBoost.git
cd PhageBoost/
python setup.py bdist_wheel
pip install --user .
PhageBoost -h
```

### CLI
```
PhageBoost -h
PhageBoost -f example/data/NC_000907.fasta.gz -o results
```
### Notebooks
There are basic notebook examples in the ```notebooks/```
These notebooks provide a way how to bring your own genecalls to PhageBoost.
You can connect your PhageBoost kernel to your pre-existing Jupyter via ipykernel:

```
conda activate PhageBoost
pip install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name PhageBoost --display-name "PhageBoost"
```
