A new paper by Alexander Meeske and colleagues at Rockefeller University shows that CRISPR-Cas13, poorly understood compared to other CRISPR-Cas systems, leads to host cell growth inhibition (through degradation of both phage and host RNA)

A new paper by Bryan Hsu and colleagues at Harvard and Brigham and Women's Hospital showed (in the mouse gut) that introducing phages led to predictable shifts in the targeted population, but also had "cascading effects" on non-phage-suscep

Virome datasets are being generated at unprecedented rates, but new data are rarely cross-compared, which leads to virus novelty being inflated in new datasets and many viral sequences going undetected. A new preprint by Ann Gregory and col

An interesting reflection by Prof. Marc Bonten of UMC Utrecht on the current impasse in the Netherlands when it comes to the need for phage clinical trials, and on UMCU's recent discussions with national health authorities on the matter.

Rick Bright, Director of BARDA, shared his opinion on how the recent bankruptcy of Achaogen (a BARDA-funded biotech that recently brought an antibiotic to market, then saw such poor sales that it closed its doors) proves that the marketing
