A Minnesota man's leg amputation was prevented by phages from Adaptive Phage Therapeutics. News story: Star Tribune

New paper in Evolution by Animesh Gupta (UCSD) and colleagues: lambda phage overcomes a perturbation in its host-viral genetic network through mutualism and evolution of life history traits.

New bioinformatics tool published by Qiaoliang Liu (Jilin University) for identifying phages from metagenomic bins and contigs: Virus Finding & Mining (VFM).

BBC News has listed Isabelle Carnell Holdaway's phage therapy case as one of the biggest 'Man on the Moon' breakthroughs of 2019.

Cytophage Technologies is an up and coming phage biotech company out of Winnipeg, Canada: here's an introduction (including how the founder treated his own foot with phages, and plans to start by breaking into the poultry market). News stor

Here's an excellent recent documentary about the history and state of phage therapy by ARTE, a French/German public broadcast service (54 min). It's available until Dec 31 and well worth the watch! For more, read last week's Capsid & Tail,

The 2nd Hanson Wade Bacteriophage Therapy Summit will take place March 24-26, 2020 in Boston. Key speakers include representatives from the FDA and the EMA, as well as leaders of several phage biotech companies.

It's almost the holiday season! Here's Harvard postdoc Siân Owen's template for making paper phages to decorate your lab or office! (Of course, these are worthwhile to make year-round!)

Merry Christmas! We'll be taking a break from Capsid & Tail next week, but we'll be back in the new year, starting with a reflection on 2019 and a look at where Phage Directory is headed in 2020! P.S. If you're interested in contributing a
