Roundup time! This month, we heard from Aaryan's experience as an undergrad researcher at Paul Bollyky's lab. We picked papers across topics like T4-AAV viral vectors, cell-free synthesis of phages, and taxMyPhage, a new tool for classifyin

Evergreen 2025 is happening, and for the first time in its 50-year history, we're taking it on the road! Register for the 26th Biennial Evergreen International Phage Meeting, which will be held August 3-8, 2025, at the University of Tennes

Dear Phage Protein enthusiast, We are pleased to invite you to The Phage Protein Meeting, September 10-11, 2025 in Ghent, Belgium. The Phage Protein Meeting is an interdisciplinary conference organized by academics and dedicated to advanc

Li Yuping (University of California, San Francisco) and colleagues published a new paper on a bacterial immune system targeting jumbo phages, showing it disrupts an early phage infection compartment to block replication.

Brittany Supina (University of Alberta) and colleagues published a new paper on isolation and characterization of a novel Burkholderia jumbo phage, showing it uses flagella as a receptor, controls rice seedling rot, and steers B. glumae tow

Himanshu Batra (Catholic University of America) and colleagues published a new preprint on targeted phage T4-based nanoparticles, showing these nanoparticles can reactivate latent HIV-1 in CD4+ T cells without causing global T cell activati

Tamsin Redgwell (Copenhagen University Hospital) and colleagues published a new paper on prophage induction in infant gut microbiomes, showing most prophages were actively induced and may modulate host bacterial functionality through access

Arne Echterhof (Stanford University School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new preprint on modeling whole-body phage distribution in mice, using Physiologically-based Pharmacokinetic Modeling. They show rapid elimination of phage an

Saavedra, Silva-Santos, Duarte and Azevedo describe in Journal of Chromatography A a purification workflow for bacteriophage preparations built around anion-exchange chromatography, using phage T4 and E. coli K12 as models. Treating with al

What does discovering a phage really feel like? Stanford undergrad Aaryan Harshith takes us on an adventure through history and now—perfect for a Sunday morning with coffee! Note from Jess: This week I’m excited to cross-post an article ori

Need help with viral genome reconstruction and host attribution in metagenomic samples? Phase Genomics' ProxiMeta™ Platform with ProxiPhage™ technology enables accurate phage genome assembly and host identification without culturing. Conta

Yves Briers (Ghent University, Belgium) and colleagues are hosting The Phage Protein Meeting September 10-11, 2025. The event is for researchers working with phage proteins such as phage lysins, tail fibers, tailspikes, depolymerases, and

The Belgian Society for Viruses of Microbes (BSVoM) is hosting their 4th Annual Symposium on Phage Research, taking place on September 12, 2025 (the day after the Phage Protein Meeting, in the same city!). Particularly, there will be also

The Rao lab at Stanford is seeking Mycobacterium phages for testing the new point-of-care phage-based diagnostic device they are developing. If anyone has any to share, or wants to collaborate, please reach out to Dr. Jianghong Rao!

Atif Khan published a new blog post on the Phage Collection Project blog about phage-based biofouling control in power plants. He explains how phages can eliminate biofilms that encourage barnacle larvae settlement, offering a sustainable a

Kate Harding (University of Otago) and colleagues published a new paper on genome-wide identification of bacterial genes for nucleus-forming phage infection, showing flagella and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis genes are major contributors
