Bioinformatic tool-based analyses enable phage genome diversity and modification inferences

Reasoning that bioinformatic tool workflows (such as those for annotation, distance estimation, clustering, and gene neighborhood comparison) allow researchers to discover, classify, and interpret novel DNA modifications and phage diversity, as represented by PHROG, VFDB, CARD, Mash, and supporting software references.
