Abstract

Phages are one of the most present groups of organisms in the biosphere. Their identification continues and their taxonomies are divergent. However, due to their evolution mode and the complexity of their species ecosystem, their classification is not complete. Here, we present a new approach to the phages classification that combines the methods of horizontal gene transfer detection and ancestral sequence reconstruction.
