This month, we recap what we learned about phage genome analysis tools, phage production pipelines, n of 1 clinical trials, and more! Happy Summer! I hope everyone’s been enjoying the summer heat that’s apparently been sweeping the country

It's Phage Picks time! This week we've got the fifth rendition of our new format, where we share the papers we keep bookmarked, and keep coming back to. Hey hey phage phans, It’s time again for our most well-loved post format — Phage Picks

This week, we feature Bishoy Maher Zaki, a PhD researcher who transitioned from phage isolation to phage bioinformatics. He’s currently streamlining phage genome analysis tools for the research community — and is asking for help from the ph

Here's the third rendition of our new format: Phage Picks — where we share the papers we keep bookmarked... and keep coming back to. Hi everyone! It's Phage Picks time! This is a new monthly format we're testing out. These are casual recom

Here's the second rendition of our new format: Phage Picks — where we share the papers we keep bookmarked... and keep coming back to. Hi everyone! It's Phage Picks time! This is a new monthly format we're testing out. These are casual reco

Round up time! This month we did our first 'Phage Picks' issue, dove into how prophages impact fly sperm, shared insights and recordings from Urmi's webinar series with top phage therapy clinicians, and Elisabet More from PDB Biotech taught

We're starting off the year by trying a new format: Phage Picks — where we share the papers we keep bookmarked... and keep coming back to. Hi everyone! We thought we'd kick off the year with a new format. We've been reading phage papers

This week we wrap up 2023 and reflect on our biggest surprises and proudest moments! Things are also changing in 2024... Hey everyone, Welcome to the last issue of 2023! What a whirlwind of a year it’s been – I feel like it was only yeste

This week, we introduce a new mini-series about building experiments on REDCap, a tool used for collecting clinical patient data. In the first issue, we dive deep into building instruments with nested permutations. I’ve long been fascinated

Phage production has its quirks, but it’s not the only field trying to reliably manufacture a new biological entity. This week Jessica shares learnings from Australia’s annual bioprocessing conference about challenges other fields are facin

Round up time! This month Jan released Open Phage Data Sheet (google sheet full of phage tools/links/resources, open to all to contribute!) and shared a walkthrough on using ChatGPT for data work. And Libby Duignan wrote about her recent Au

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’re launching Open Phage, a public, editable spreadsheet of phage resources like grants, clinical trials, and bioinformatics/lab tools! Hi everyone, This week I got to tackle a passion project that I’ve wanted to do for a reall

The 2023 PhageScope paper describes a database with 873,718 phage sequences and annotations for genome completeness, hosts, lifestyle, taxonomy and genetic elements, plus automated analyses and visualizations. Oxford Academic

This month, we heard about the Southeast Asia phage workshop, a few tidbits from Evergreen, and a brief intro on using ChatGPT for lab work! Hey everyone, I’m writing this from the Melbourne Docklands library, as Jessica is presenting her

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, we finally get to post the recap of Evergreen Phage Meeting! With a flurry of guest posts, we didn't even get to write about Evergreen until a couple of months after the event — but here's what went down, a picture gallery, and s

How do you design a system that can share data across phage labs and biobanks? But also track where a phage came from and where a phage went? And along the way let each lab selectively pitch in their lab data? We'll get into some higher lev

This month, we really put the CAPS lock in Capsid: from ORACLE to a CARB-X article on SNIPR, to AKTA and DBs, we really capitalized on many deep topics. Hi everyone, we’re sailing through 2023! These past few weeks has seen Jessica spending

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
