Postdoc at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to examine multikingdom relationships in environmental microbiomes, with a particular focus on phage/bacteria interactions.

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

Post doc: The Pride Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate the role of bacteriophages as members of the human microbiome and to assist in the efforts to identify bacteriophages that kill human pathogens.

Researchers at Universitat Pompeu Fabra analysed the methylomes of six Cutibacterium acnes strains and showed that the killing specificity of phage PAD20 increases when its DNA acquires methylation from a methylation-competent strain. Phage
