Why do bacteria evolve CRISPR-based phage resistance in natural environments, while in the lab, they seem to more readily evolve receptor-based resistance? Ellinor Alseth (University of Exeter) and colleagues have published a new paper digg

Engineering phages is getting more popular; here's another breakthrough in phage synthetic biology! Matthew Dunne (ETH Zurich) and colleagues have developed several approaches for engineering phages targeting Gram-positive pathogens (using

Is lyophilization a good way to store phages? Prasanth Manohar and Nachimuthu Ramesh (Vellore Institute of Technology) tested lyophilization conditions for three phages (an Escherichia phage, a Klebsiella phage and an Enterobacter phage) us

Jeffrey Carey (University of Pennsylvania) and colleagues have shown that a temperate E. coli phage reprograms its host's regulation of an anaerobic respiratory system. They found that the prophage disables the bet-hedging strategy that aid

Amelia McKitterick and Sian Owen, Boston, Massachussetts Calling all phage enthusiasts in the Boston area! @implosian and I want to organize a meetup with other Boston phage peeps to share ideas and network etc. Trying to gauge interest, so

Seeking a research technician to: - Assist with our directed evolution project with the purpose of improving the efficiency and safety of gene insertion tools. - Assist with conducting a wide variety of molecular biology techniques, some of

We are looking for a research assistant to plan and perform laboratory work at and beyond the state-of-the-art in the areas of cloning, cell culture, recombinant expression, and protein purification of soluble and membrane proteins and comp

We are recruiting for a Research Assistant- Phage Genomics to be an active member of Prof Chris Creevey's Group supporting a research project emphasing bacteriophages and the rumen microbiome. The successful candidate will undertake researc

We’ve been publishing Capsid & Tail for a year now, and while some of you have been here since the early days, we know many of you have found us relatively recently. So this week, we’ve gone through our archive to dig up some of our favouri

We collectively don’t know much about how phages work in cocktails, or how best to optimize phage therapy when multiple phages are combined. Rosanna Wright (University of York) and colleagues have shown, using P. aeruginosa and pairs of pha

Marta Lourenço (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues have published a preprint on how inaccessible sites in the mouse gut mucosa serve as a spatial refuge for bacteria, limiting phage predation, and leading to phage-bacterial coexistence that i
