Taxonomy classification: PhaGCN 2.0 vs PhaBOX #20

Hi, Thank you so much for creating such a great tool! When I was doing phage taxonomy classification, I got different results with PhaGCN2.0 vs. PhaBOX's PhaGCN. Your article suggests that PhaGCN 2.0 has higher accuracy than the previous version. So would you recommended to use PhaGCN2.0 for classification and other tools in PhaBOX for host prediction etc? Thank you!

If you only want to predict the taxonomy for phages, you can go through and use all the tools in the PhaBOX. The programs are continuously maintained and we have already updated the PhaGCN in PhaBOX to have the latest best performance. ( However, we cannot update the published paper to inform the users

But If you want to predict taxonomy for other viruses, you should go for PhaGCN 2.0. The PhaGCN in PhaBOX only consider the phages sequences in your data.

Best, Jiayu

Hi there,

The PhaBOX is upgraded to a 2.0 version with more powerful usage. Besides, it can handle all kinds of viruses now. Feel free to check!
