有了这个非正式的指南，我们试图帮助新的和有经验的噬菌体研究人员通过两个重要阶段，噬菌体发现，即命名和分类。为噬菌体提供一个合适的名称并不像听起来那么微不足道，而且其影响可能会在数据库和官方分类单元名称中持久存在。噬菌体分类由国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）的细菌和病毒分委员会（BAVS）负责。虽然BAVS旨在为噬菌体分类学提供一种整体方法，但对于已经分离和测序了新噬菌体的个体研究人员来说，这可能有点压倒性。我们现在为这些研究人员提供了一个非正式的噬菌体命名和分类指南，从噬菌体分离水平采取“自下而上”的方法。
With this informal guide, we try to assist both new and experienced phage researchers through two important stages that follow phage discovery; that is, naming and classification. Providing an appropriate name for a bacteriophage is not as trivial as it sounds, and the effects might be long-lasting in databases and in official taxon names. Phage classification is the responsibility of the Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses Subcommittee (BAVS) of the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). While the BAVS aims at providing a holistic approach to phage taxonomy, for individual researchers who have isolated and sequenced a new phage, this can be a little overwhelming. We are now providing these researchers with an informal guide to phage naming and classification, taking a “bottom-up” approach from the phage isolate level.
