Preprint: Bacteriophages antagonize cGAS-like immunity in bacteria

Paper: New insights into the structure and assembly of phage P1

Researchers at Universitat Pompeu Fabra analysed the methylomes of six Cutibacterium acnes strains and showed that the killing specificity of phage PAD20 increases when its DNA acquires methylation from a methylation-competent strain. Phage

With feedback from users, the Instill platform is evolving. This week Katharine Muscat, phage PhD student and volunteer Instill coordinator, shares how members have benefited from and contributed to Instill, and what they've learned from te

The Fountain Group is hiring a Scientist II (R&D) with experience in bacteriophage biology techniques such as phage overlay assay, phage infection kinetics to perform microbiology studies and methods to support development of bacteriophage
