Illuminating phage dark matter beyond the reach of structural alignments with PhageFlare
Many phage proteins remain functionally uncharacterized despite advances in structural-similarity-based annotation. We introduce PhageFlare, a deep learning framework for predicting phage protein functions lacking significant structural matches to annotated references. Across three structure-disjoint benchmarks, where no significant Foldseek match was detected between training and test proteins…
