Olympia Alvarez and Taehoon Ha We are MPH graduate students from California State University, San Marcos, and this survey is for our capstone project on phage therapy. Due to the limited human clinical cases in the literature, we were advis

What's the hardest part of phage genome annotation? According to Marta Sampaio and colleagues at the University of Minho, it's finding phage promoters. Here's a new tool they developed, PhagePromoter, to help you find them.

The 2019 Evergreen International Phage Meeting has come to a close — it was so great meeting so many phage biologists there! Among several highlights, which we'll summarize in a future issue, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Virus

Camille d’Humières and colleagues at the Université Paris Diderot and the Institut Pasteur describe a simple, cost-effective way to analyse the gut phageome: from phage isolation to bioinformatics.

A new paper published by Zachary Storms and colleagues in the Sauvageau lab at the University of Alberta describes a method for high-throughput quantification of phage virulence that can be applied to phage screening, evaluation of phage st

Have you heard about the similarities between the Caudovirales (tailed phages) and the Herpesevirales (a eukaryotic viral order)? Juan Andrade-Martinez and colleagues at the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia compared 2000 Caudovirales ge

This week on #phagetwitter: "Anyone have a good protocol for DNA extractions from low titer phage lysates?" — @FazzinoLisa Check out the thread for many helpful answers and links!

Simon Roux and a multidisciplinary team of colleagues have found that inoviruses (filamentous, single stranded DNA phages that replicate without killing their host) are much more prevalent than previously thought, and they even infect archa
