Patrick Pausch (UC Berkeley) and colleagues have published a new paper in Science on a new 'minimal functional' CRISPR-Cas system comprised of a single 70-kDa protein, CasΦ, that they discovered in phages. This system is active in human and

Kaitlyn Kortright (Yale School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS showing their use of INSeq screening to rapidly identify candidate phage receptors. They successfully identified receptors for 4 well-characterized pha

Athina Zampara (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues published a new paper in Scientific Reports on the use of phage receptor binding proteins to enable endolysins ("Innolysins") to kill Gram-negative bacteria.

Oluwafolajimi Adesanya and colleagues, who make up a new team of phage researchers from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, just published their first review paper on phage therapy. The review also includes a unique perspective on phage th
