Derek Cerchione and colleagues at Editas Medicine in Cambridge have developed a new M13 phage-based directed-evolution strategy and a mutagenesis method called SMOOT to engineer Cas9 nuclease activity. They report the isolation of a Cas9 mu

Soumyananda Chakraborti (Jagiellonian University, Poland) and collaborators from Poland, UK and Canada report the characterization of NinH, encoded by bacteriophage lambda. NinH is the first example of a phage mimic of the bacterial Nucleoi

Andrea Rocker (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues published a study on how Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane porins affect its permeability to antibiotics. They suggest caution be taken when targeting this species and other car

Maryn McKenna wrote a new Wired piece on how the COVID crisis may worsen the AMR crisis. Within it, she links to a useful compendium of literature on secondary infections and AMR in the context of COVID-19, which was compiled by two researc

Here's a nice article on the 'age of bacteriophage' written by undergraduate students Muskan Gupta and Rohit Gokhale at Acharya Narendra Dev College in New Delhi. Included is some excellent phage art! This was written as part of an online t

Xiaolin Xiong (Wuhan University, China) and colleagues published their work on an unusual phosphorothioation-sensing bacterial defense system with broad anti-phage activities in Nature Microbiology.

A new study by Demeng Tan (Fudan University, China), Mads Frederik Hansen (Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Germany) and colleagues have shown that a Vibrio anguillarum prophage is controlled by quorum sensing and stimulat

The Seed Lab in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley is looking to hire a staff research associate. The candidate will use genetic and biochemical approaches to evaluate how phages evolve to modulate the excision and
