Anthony King wrote a piece for Nature Outlook on bacteria-killing viruses in the gut microbiome, showing that phages are key players in gut ecology but remain difficult to study due to their abundance and diversity.

Mike Tisza published a new pre-print (& great Twitter thread) on how bacterial and phage communities interact in the gut during the first years of life, as found by exploring the TEDDY dataset (12k samples from 800+ children in 4 countries)
