  "summary": "Phages, like their bacterial hosts, have evolved to proliferate across the full range of environments on Earth, but the specific amino acid residues that underlie their environmental adaptations remain elusive. Here, we developed a computational framework that uses structure-based multiple sequence alignments, a random forest classifier, and a phylogeny-aware regression model to find amino acid…",
