This week, we share some examples and learnings from experimenting with data processing and extraction using OpenAI’s slew of new ChatGPT tools! Hi everyone, it’s me again! This week I’ve been exploring ChatGPT’s various capabilities like

This week, we get to explore and share some ideas about how to (responsibly) use ChatGPT for lab work! Hi everyone, By now you’ve probably undoubtedly heard of OpenAI, ChatGPT, Large Language Models, and other buzzwords. You’ve probably ev

This week, Jan starts to apply ideas from the previous Data series to the world of biology work and biology data. Previously in the Data series, I touched on how to think about data and how to work with both tabular data (spreadsheets) and

This week we bring you a guest post from CARB-X, which covers how SNIPR Biome uses CRISPR phages to target E. coli with sharpshooter precision. We were recently invited by CARB-X to re-publish a Spotlight article written by Robin Berghaus

This month, we covered a new phage podcast, launched the Evergreen Phage Meeting sign up site, and talked about using databases for phage work! Time marches on, and another month has gone by! This month we launched the new Evergreen Phage M

This week, Jessica Sacher shows you how, as a non-coder, she got ChatGPT to help her make a chatbot that knows everything we've published across 220 Capsid & Tail blog posts (almost every week for the last 4.5 years!), how you can play with

This week, Jan takes a detour into data analytics! This follows up on the last informal Data Series post designing an auditable, replicable, and accessible phage data system. This time, Jan delves a bit deeper into what data analytics is, w

This week, Ruby CY Lin of Phage Australia dives further into commercialization pathways and opportunities for Phage Australia, and the phage industry as a whole. Welcome back to the third installment of the Sustainable Phage Therapy serie

MetaPhage is a new pipeline for turning raw reads into phage insights. It’s a massive step in the right direction towards one-click phage analysis. Here's my trying (and failing) to run MetaPhage on a laptop, and a short tutorial to get you

This week Marcin Lubocki and Piotr Tynecki explain how AI tools like PhageAI can help us characterize our phages faster and more accurately (but only with the help of the phage community!). ## The phage therapy perspective in the nearest fu

There's still too little data on phage-bacteria biology to support scalable therapeutic phage development. This week, Kayla Young of Phase Genomics tells us how proximity ligation-based metagenomic sequencing is enabling the world’s first c

You may have heard people (especially on Twitter) talking about DeSci, or decentralized science. Today Jessica Sacher shares her experience diving into LabDAO, a new DeSci initiative enabling science through a lab space/experiment sharing n

As the field of phage research is increasingly becoming data-driven and intertwined with artificial intelligence (AI), predicting phage-host interactions can provide new biological insights and support the development of personalized phage

Phage Directory started because Jan (a 'tech person') saw how his skills could help fix inefficiencies in Jessica's field: phage biology. Now, more people like Jan are getting excited to focus on solving problems in science/biology/biotech

This week, McMaster University PhD student Kyle Jackson interviews Cytophage and BiomX executives, who share phage therapy commercialization challenges and progress and a sneak peek into what they'll present at Phage Futures. You can also

This week, we're featuring a post by Michael Shamash, a graduate student at McGill University in Canada, who developed the new phage plaque counting app OnePetri! He takes us through the story behind the app, how it works, and what its futu

This week, Prof. Yves Briers of Ghent University in Belgium takes us behind the scenes of his group's new paper on an efficient new way of engineering thousands of phage lysins at once. This article takes us behind the scenes of this pape
