title = "Database and Comparative Identification of Prophages",
abstract = "Prophages are integrated viral genomes in bacteria. Prophages are distinct from other genomic segments encoding virulence factors that have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer events. A database for prophages (http://bicmku.in:8082/prophagedb http://ispc.weizmann.ac.il/prophagedb) has been constructed with data available from literature reports. To date other than bacteriophage corner stone genes based iterative searches, no other exhaustive approach unique for identifying prophage elements is available. Here we report detection of prophages based on proteomic signature comparison using a prophage proteome as reference set. This method was tested with using the database and then extended over newly sequenced bacterial genomes with no reported prophages. The approach of using similarity of proteins over a given region helped identify twenty putative prophage regions in nine different bacterial genomes.",
