A combination of PHAST [32 (link)] and PHASTER [33 (link)] was used to identify putative prophages in the complete genome of CFSAN029793. PHAST was used to identify insertion sites and PHASTER was used to identify the start and end of each prophage. Then the presence/absence of these putative prophages in draft genomes was determined by a combination of two approaches: 1) the insertion sites of the CFSAN029793 prophages were identified in the CLC Genomics WorkBench 8.5.1 (Aarhus, Denmark)-assembled draft genomes by BLAST and the sequences adjacent to the insertion sites were compared to the prophages of CFSAN029793, and 2) the CFSAN029793 prophages were searched against draft genomes by BLAST and a threshold of ≥ 60% query coverage with ≥80% sequence identity [34 (link), 35 (link)] of BLAST alignment indicated the presence of a CFSAN029793 prophage in a draft genome.
