Pharokka: a fast, scalable bacteriophage genome annotation tool

Pharokka is a Python tool, installable through bioconda, that annotates bacteriophage genomes easily, rapidly and consistently with standards-compliant outputs, taking under 5 minutes for an average 50-kb phage genome. Its authors built it because existing tools are either not phage-specific or are web- and email-based and need significant manual curation; the source code is on GitHub.
