Siân Owen’s lab at the Wadsworth Center in Albany, NY is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it! Contact her or apply here if you are interested in a postdoc exploring plasmid-dependent phage biology in b

Plasmid-dependent phages used to be used in phage typing, but haven’t survived the genomics era — there are no records of them in phage banks, and it’s been unclear if they can ever be recovered. However, a new wave of studies reporting the

Despite their unique biology and biotech potential, only a small number of plasmid-dependent phages have been characterized. Natalia Quinones-Olvera (Harvard Medical School) and colleagues published the results of their recent systematic se
