Due to technical limitations, most gut microbiome studies have focused on prokaryotes, overlooking viruses. Yishay Pinto and colleagues have published a new paper on Phanta: a new method for quickly and simply identifying and quantifying ph

Preprint: Phanta: Phage-inclusive profiling of human gut metagenomes.

The Adriaenssens Lab at the Quadram Institute (Norwich, UK) are seeking a PhD student to investigate how phages contribute to adaptation of commensal bacteria to the human gut.

Tamsin Redgwell (Copenhagen University Hospital) and colleagues published a preprint in bioRxiv describing how prophages in the infant gut are largely induced, and may be functionally relevant to their hosts. They found prophages in the inf

Eleanor Townsend (University of Warwick) and colleagues published a new review in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology on the origins and roles of phages in the human gut microbiome. They review phageome development in infancy a

Luis Camarillo-Guerrero (Wellcome Sanger Insititute) and colleagues published a paper on the prevalence of viral diversity in the human gut, along with a new Gut Phage Database (142,809 non-redundant gut phage genomes from 28,060 metagenome

Eleanor Townsend and Eleanor Jameson (University of Warwick) are editing a special issue titled “Phage-Host Interaction in the Gut Microbiome and Their Impacts on Human Health and Disease” in MDPI’s International Journal of Environmental Re

Sean Benler (NCBI) and colleagues published a new preprint on their identification of thousands of previously unknown phages in whole-community human gut metagenomes.

APC Microbiome Ireland is hiring two Research Assistants to work within its Gut Phageomics Laboratory.

Peter Voorhees (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) and colleagues published a new review in the Journal of Controlled Release on the challenges and opportunities for phage-based in situ microbiome engineering in the gut.

Thilini Jayasinghe (University of Auckland, New Zealand) and colleagues published a new paper in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology showing differences in compositions of gut bacterial populations and phages in 5–11 year-olds

Tommi Vatanen, a senior research fellow at the University of Auckland-based Liggins Institute in New Zealand, will explore the role of gut phages in obesity with a new $300k Marsden Fund grant.

It is widely recognised that the gut microbiota plays an important role in human health and has become one of the most dynamic, complex and exciting areas of research in both food and pharmaceutical arenas. The microbiota is not only a targ

Breast milk from mothers who deliver preterm is nutritionally distinct from term breast milk and contains a microbiome that has higher numbers of Coagulase negative Staphylococcus. Little is known about the ‘phageome’ of preterm breast milk
