Component Parts of Bacteriophage Virions Accurately Defined by a Machine-Learning Approach Built on Evolutionary Features

In response to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance, there are moves to use bacteriophages (phages) as therapeutic agents. Selecting which phages will be effective therapeutics relies on interpreting features contributing to shelf-life and applicability to diagnosed infections.
