The paper develops SpikeHunter, a deep learning model to identify tailspike proteins from prophages, revealing associations between these proteins and bacterial serotypes.

This study expands the number of complete temperate phage genomes by over 100-fold using a novel computational method applied to bacterial NGS data.

The paper identifies transcriptional regulatory sequences in coronaviruses and finds recombination hotspots are more frequently co-located with TRS-B sites.
