Jaeger is a tool that utilizes homology-free machine learning to identify phage genome sequences that are hidden within metagenomes. It is capable of detecting both phages and prophages within metagenomic assemblies.
The performance of the Jaeger workflow can be significantly increased by utilizing GPUs. To enable GPU support, the CUDA Toolkit and cuDNN library must be accessible to conda.
