由于抗生素耐药性的上升，对用于治疗用途的抗生素的兴趣显著增加。此外，噬菌体基因组测序的成本已经降低到它被用作基因组学的教学工具的程度。不幸的是，噬菌体的描述和其注释的质量经常是不合标准的。下一章旨在帮助从事病毒学研究的人员，特别是那些新进入该领域的人，准确描述他们新分离的病毒。
Because of the rise in antimicrobial resistance there has been a significant increase in interest in phages for therapeutic use. Furthermore, the cost of sequencing phage genomes has decreased to the point where it is being used as a teaching tool for genomics. Unfortunately, the quality of the descriptions of the phage and its annotation frequently are substandard. The following chapter is designed to help people working on phages, particularly those new to the field, to accurately describe their newly isolated viruses.
