Six-month Master 2 internship at the Biologie et Ecologie des Ecosystèmes marins Profonds (BEEP) laboratory in Plouzané on the diversity and temporal dynamics of marine viruses in the Bay of Brest: building the first collection of viral gen

Lund University's Protein Evolution group (Gemma Atkinson, Department of Experimental Medical Science) seeks a postdoctoral researcher to combine protein structure and complex prediction with comparative genomics to study interactions among

TattleTail is a rule-based bioinformatic pipeline for identifying canonical pyocin-encoding gene clusters in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It targets the characteristic trpE–trpG-associated loci, combining conserved pyocin genes with exclusion of

Six-month Master 2 internship (630 euros per month) at the GenEPII platform of the Hospices Civils de Lyon, with the Virpath team of the Centre International de Recherche en Infectiologie (CIRI), within the CAPUCINE project on non-invasive

A Nature Microbiology study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Berkeley and Penn State presents a phylogeny-agnostic machine-learning framework that predicts strain-level phage–host interactions across diverse bacterial genera f

Permanent (CDI) bioinformatics engineer position in the Microbiome Studio business unit of Abolis Biotechnologies in Paris 13, which develops a solution to understand the metabolic pathways of microorganisms for nutrition, health, cosmetics

Five-to-six-month Master 2 or engineering-school internship, starting March or April 2027, at the MIAT unit (INRAE Occitanie-Toulouse) within the ANR Pro-k-mer project, co-supervised by colleagues at ENVT with exchanges with the LIRMM team

This review surveys more than 80 phage bioinformatics tools for identification, assembly, annotation, taxonomy, lifestyle, defence, and host prediction. It compares sequence homology, machine learning, and foundation-model approaches, then

Internship of at least six months at UMR1350 PaThLiv (Lyon Hepatology Institute) to continue, optimise and generalise a Nextflow pipeline that genotypes hepatitis B and D virus variants from Oxford Nanopore long-read data: quality control,

Full-time Postdoctoral Associate in Dr. Yolanda Huang’s lab at the University at Buffalo. Potential projects include studying antimicrobial stress tolerance, carbon metabolic pathways and genetic determinants underlying bacteria-phage inter

This Zenodo archive contains PHORAGER outputs from a prophage-mining analysis of publicly available ESKAPE pathogen genomes, packaged as one ZIP file per species. PHORAGER ESKAPE prophage output dataset

An atlas maps 8,484 interactions between 84 phages and 101 clinical Klebsiella strains, alongside GenoPHI. A Nature Microbiology study describes the genome-only model across 115,037 interactions, with experimental validation of 1,240 E. col

The study presents DepoCatalog, an experimentally validated collection of 129 recombinantly prepared Klebsiella phage depolymerases across 75 KL-types, and proposes a five-class framework for their diversity. The accompanying DepoCat databa

V-score and VL-score are annotation-free metrics that quantify the "virus-likeness" of protein families and genomes, released with an open-access searchable database, V-Score-Search. Applied to public protein databases they link 19-59% of p

Perfilyev and colleagues analysed 3.6 million bacterial genome assemblies from 1,226 species in Nature Microbiology and found 119,510 lytic phage genomes, which they call bacterial assembly-associated phage sequences, a roughly five-fold in

Phagos and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are hosting a hackathon called Phagos x AWS — Hackdays 2025, taking place on May 14-15th, 2025. The event aims to leverage AI and LLMs for phage genome analysis, addressing antibiotic resistance and infe

George Wright, Slawomir Michniewski, Eleanor Jameson and Fayyaz ul Amir Afsar Minhas describe DepoRanker, a machine-learning algorithm that ranks proteins by their likelihood of being phage depolymerases targeting Klebsiella capsular polysa

PHIStruct is a multilayer perceptron that uses SaProt structure-aware embeddings of receptor-binding proteins to predict hosts among the ESKAPEE genera. The study provides its experimental data and source code on GitHub. Oxford Academic / P

Bhavya Papudeshi (Flinders University) and colleagues published a new preprint on an automated bioinformatics pipeline for phage therapy candidate screening, showing Sphae can rapidly assess phage safety and suitability for therapeutic use

Using a dataset of interactions between 403 Escherichia strains and 96 phages, researchers predicted strain-level phage-bacteria outcomes from genomic data alone (AUROC 86%) and found that adsorption factors explain most interactions while
