About PHEONA

Phage Evidence Organization, Notation and Analysis tool

What is PHEONA?

PHEONA is a web platform for bacteriophage genome annotation. It brings together evidence collection, annotation workflows, and flatfile validation so that researchers and students can collaboratively annotate phage genomes.

The platform gathers supporting evidence from a range of bioinformatics tools and presents it alongside each gene so annotators can make and record well-supported calls.

Accessibility

We want PHEONA to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technologies. The PHEONA user interface targets conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.

User-interface changes are reviewed against this standard. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and some areas of the platform may not yet fully meet it. If you encounter a barrier that prevents you from using PHEONA, please let us know so we can address it.

Licensing & Stewardship

PHEONA is offered by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) for scientific research and educational use, subject to the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
