A web-based database called the Pathogen-Host Interaction Database (PHI-base; Winnenburg et al., 2006 (link)), which comprises experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence, and effector genes from bacterial and fungal pathogens that infect hosts like plants, animals, fungi, and insects. BLASTP was employed with a cut-off E value of ≤1e−06 in the pathogen-host interaction (PHI) database to find the probable pathogenicity-related genes.
