Our PHI-base September 2019 release is now described in a new publication in Nucleic Acids Research Database issue. Title is: PHI-base: the pathogen–host interactions database academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

There is a new article out on Ensembl describing integration with PHI-base! Ensembl Genomes 2020—enabling non-vertebrate genomic research academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Mutations in orthologous genes often manifest in similar phenotypes. A Unified Phenotype Ontology (uPheno) is being described for human and model species in the recent NAR article doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… by Shefchek et al jointly with PHI-base ontologists.

PHI-base created protein-protein interaction networks for 15 Ascomycete fungal species including rice blast, Fusarium and Botrytis. In a use case study virulence interacting proteins of siRNA targets were identified. Read more at doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…

Our PHI-base version 4.9 (May 2020 release) is out! An additional 346 genes described in 228 papers were curated. New database downloads in FASTA/CSV are available.

PHI-base Version 4.10 is now available providing information for an additional 555 genes from 232 curated articles. Fusarium graminearum is still the species with the highest number of records. ~10% of all F. graminearum genes are already experimentally tested.

Our recent PHI-base 4.11 release (May 2021) is available for download in csv and fasta format form the web site or via github (github.com/PHI-base/data/…). Old versions can be accessed as well.

Our new PHI-base 4.12 release (September 2021) is now available online and as a download. The database contains manually curated phenotype and molecular data from 4,387 publications describing host-pathogen interactions.

PHI-base is published in a new database article in Nucleic Acid Res available now online! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… The article provides a detailed description of data types, host and pathogen groups available in the current Version 4.12.

Interested in Bio-curation? PHI-base has a part-time job opportunity (20%) to help authors globally to curate the pathogen-host microbial literature. The position is for UK applicants only but can be done remotely. For more more information, see jobs.rothamsted.ac.uk/vacancies/478/…

Our new release of PHI-base Version 4.13 is online! Compared to the last release an additional 224 references are included. The references describe 297 additional genes and their contribution to virulence. We now list a total of 18982 pathogen-host interactons.
