PhReD Database is relaunching!

The Phage Receptor Database (PhReD) compiles receptors involved in phage-host recognition.

We are proud to have partnered with the Bio-conversion Databank Foundation (BioDF) to relaunch and continuously improve PhReD. Many new and improved features have been added, including:

  • a visual filter search feature
  • over 560 receptors included (and counting)
  • over 560 phages included (and counting)
  • over 80 different hosts included (and counting)
  • exportable data tables
  • you can contribute your own receptors to the database

You can access PhReD through the BioDF portal at: https://portal.bio-conversion.org
