The PhageExpressionAtlas is a web application for interactive exploration of various bacteriophage infections on the transcriptional level based on publicly available dual RNA-seq data.
The aim of the Atlas is to enable researchers to gain new insights into areas such as Gene Expression during Phage-Host interactions and Phage Gene Classification.
The PhageExpressionAtlas can be accessed online via https://phageexpressionatlas.cs.uni-tuebingen.de, or by running it locally on your machine.
After installing the requirements in the requirements.txt file, run the following command in your terminal: (Note: before running, make sure you are inside the inner PhageExpressionAtlas folder which contains the app.py file)
python app.py
or
flask run
Subsequently, you will see something like this:
* Serving Flask app 'app'
* Debug mode: on
