PrecisionPhage Ltd

Kuunnellessani YK:n yleiskokouksen puheenvuoroja antibioottiresistenssin torjumisesta, en voi olla muistuttamatta, että meillä Suomessa on loistava start up-yhtiö, joka on kehittänyt ratkaisun resitenttien mikrobien torjumiseen. Bakteriofaagit ovat esim. jätevedestä eristettyjä viruksia, joilla on spesifinen kyky tuhota tiettyä bakteeria. PrecisionPhage Ltd:lla on jo mittava faagikirjasto, josta se lisensoi faageja kokeelliseen käyttöön sekä jatkuvasti analysoi uusia faageja. Tänään myös kuulin loistavia esityksiä Nordic Business Forum issä siitä miten Euroopassa ja varsinkin Suomessa loistavien innovaatioden kaupallistaminen kompuroi. Nyt on sijoittajille ja businessenkeleille hyvä case tarjolla. Suomessa kuolee vuosittain 90 henkilöä infektioihin, joihin ei antibiootit enää tehoa. Lancetin artikkelin mukaan (https://lnkd.in/dgbGVK9R) 39 miljoonaa ihmistä maailmassa uhkaa kuolema vuoteen 2050 mennessä antibiooteille resitentteihin infektiohin.

Bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, represent a promising tool in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The development and application of phage therapy require comprehensive genomic analysis to ensure the safety, specificity, and efficacy of phage candidates. Here, we introduce Phagenomics, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) online platform designed to facilitate the bioinformatics analysis of bacteriophages. Phagenomics integrates a suite of tools for phage genome assembly, annotation, and analysis, leveraging both traditional and contemporary bioinformatics approaches to enhance the accuracy of gene function predictions. The platform enables users to perform genome assembly from raw Illumina sequencing reads, automated genome polishing, identification of phage elements, high-quality annotation, determination of genome replication mechanisms, and prediction of lytic cycles. Additionally, Phagenomics offers features for the identification of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes, taxonomic classification, and, in the near future, the construction of phage therapy cocktails through the CocktailShaker algorithm. The integration of these tools into a single platform aims to support the research community and industry in advancing the field of phage therapy by providing a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for phage genomics. The development of Phagenomics represents a step forward in the operationalization of phage therapy, offering a scalable and accessible resource for the identification and characterization of therapeutic phages.

Phage Genomes Decoded PrecisionPhage is excited to announce the launch of our Software-as-a-Service platform – Phagenomics - designed to transform bacteriophage-related bioinformatics. Bacteriophages – viruses that kill bacteria – are expected to be an integral part of future infection treatments. Phagenomics automates bacteriophage genomics from assembly to analysis using rigorous quality control at every step. Our proprietary algorithms combined with 3rd party tools mimick manual phage genome annotation but with a fraction of the time and cost. All this is bundled in user-friendly browser interface, no command line needed. The platform works also as a comprehensive database for your phage and host collection (with raw data storage!). Sign up to be part of this new frontier in phage bioinformatics: www.phagenomics.net For any questions regarding Phagenomics, please do not hesitate to contact us: customerservice@precisionphage.com Also, if you happen to be at the #AMRConference in Basel, Switzerland on March 6-7, come have a chat with us at booth #18!
