Roundup time! This month we explored phage-based gene editing in the microbiome, high schooler Kate Kelly shared her jam-packed 30 days in Stanford’s Bollyky lab, and Ritah Nakayinga from Kyambogo University discussed her phage cocktail to

Peter Erdmann Dougherty (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues isolated and sequenced 8 novel phages targeting wheat phyllosphere bacteria, characterizing their genomic, phylogenetic, and morphological traits. They identified DNA modific

Can phages save Uganda’s banana crops? This week, Ritah Nakayinga, a lecturer and phage researcher at Kyambogo University, shares her work developing a phage cocktail to fight Banana Bacterial Wilt in Uganda's staple crop. The Phage quote,

A new perspective piece highlights how phages, phage-derived proteins and organic acids offer potential as biocontrols for fruit crop pathogens (especially P. syringae pathovars actinidiae and syringae, which attack kiwifruit and stone frui
