TattleTail: A Pyocin Prediction Tool

2026-03-27

Abstract excerpt

Tailocins are phage tail-like bacteriocins (PTLBs) thought to be remnants of prophages that have lost the ability to package viral genomes while retaining the ability to kill closely-related bacterial strains, thereby mediating bacterial competition. Tailocins produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are referred to as pyocins. Apart from their contribution to ecological fitness, they also have the potential to be harn...
