Dr. Mylene Ogliastro Looking for motivated postdoc who wants to explore virus diversity (in insects). This is part of an EU project, ViroplantH2020, and is a 2-year position. Experience in viral metagenomics and bionformatics required. Posi

The Center for Phage Technology is looking for a Programmer I, which will, under direction, perform specialized software development and support functions such as troubleshooting, debugging, problem-solving, analysis, and research in a vira

Review in Cell Host & Microbe by Kortright, Chan, Koff and Turner (Yale) on the history of phage therapy and why it is regaining interest as multidrug-resistant infections rise. It compares phage therapy with chemical antibiotics and their

We are urgently seeking Mycoplasma genitalium phages for a patient. Since phages against this pathogen are rarely studied, ANY help or advice on how to work with/isolate Mycoplasma phages is appreciated, even if you don't have phages or th

In past issues, we covered what it means to patent something & whether patenting works for phages. In this issue, we dive into an alternative to patenting: trade secrecy. In past issues, we covered what it means to patent something and whet

The 4th annual OSU Viromics Workshop is May 8-10, 2019. The workshop kicks off with a mini-symposium, then introduces students and postdocs (and possibly early career faculty) to the informatics tools available to develop biological underst

Guy Schleyer and colleagues published a new paper on "in-plaque" mass spec imaging to visualize what happens during (algal) viral infection. Here's the original paper and a blog post on the work.

Robert Edwards and (many!) colleagues have published an exciting new preprint on the phylogeography and evolution of crAssphage around the world.

Anushila Chatterjee and colleagues published a new preprint showing that phage resistance in enterococci leads to reduced antibiotic resistance and reduced mouse gut colonization.
