Paul Hyman (Ashland University, Ashland, Ohio, USA) and colleagues have published a paper indicating that using multiple hosts during phage isolation does not select for phages with broader host ranges.

In this paper, Charles Dulberger and colleagues use live-cell fluorescence microscopy to visualize the spatiotemporal dynamics of mycobacteriophage infection in single cells and populations, showing that infection is dependent on the host n

Justin M. Jenson et al. published a new paper in Nature entitled Ubiquitin-like Conjugation by Bacterial cGAS Enhances Anti-phage Defence. In the paper, the authors show that Cap2 forms a thioester bond with the C-terminal glycine of cGAS a

In this issue of Cell, Brianna Duncan-Lowey et al. and Yina Gao et al. both show RADAR proteins assemble into massive molecular complexes but present distinct views about how these assemblies obstruct phage.

This week, Jan takes another detour into data-land, playing around with spreadsheets and tabular data, exploring VLOOKUP, pivot tables, and other formulas. In our previous data issue, we defined some types of data, and explored ways to thin
