TattleTail is a rule-based bioinformatic pipeline for identifying canonical pyocin-encoding gene clusters in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It targets the characteristic trpE–trpG-associated loci, combining conserved pyocin genes with exclusion of

This Zenodo archive contains PHORAGER outputs from a prophage-mining analysis of publicly available ESKAPE pathogen genomes, packaged as one ZIP file per species. PHORAGER ESKAPE prophage output dataset

An atlas maps 8,484 interactions between 84 phages and 101 clinical Klebsiella strains, alongside GenoPHI. A Nature Microbiology study describes the genome-only model across 115,037 interactions, with experimental validation of 1,240 E. col

The study presents DepoCatalog, an experimentally validated collection of 129 recombinantly prepared Klebsiella phage depolymerases across 75 KL-types, and proposes a five-class framework for their diversity. The accompanying DepoCat databa

The Phage Collection Project announced that its Phage Therapy VR experience was available to download. The Phage Collection Project

This week we're trying something new — let's call it Phage Community Q&A! You send us your questions, we send you off-the-cuff answers. This week, Jess shares her favorite phage-making equipment in response to a researcher who's setting up

This month, Jess went viral with a post about How to Read Papers, we picked some great bread and butter papers, and Jess got to chat with Cytophage about navigating the Canadian regulatory phage maze. Welcome to summer, everyone! This mont

This week we're diving into something we're pretty sure every researcher grapples with: how to read papers without your brain melting! Jess posted about this on LinkedIn and it blew up — tons of researchers shared their own how-to-read-pape

For this month, we feature a guest post about pipolin use in PCR, two podcasts from Jess, and another lab hacks episode from Jan. Hi everyone, Spring is upon us! Jess has been focused on her research — a slight deviation from phage therapy

Among the millions of papers published each year, how can you make sure you never touch another irrelevant paper? I’ve never been particularly fast at reading papers. Usually, just skimming a research paper takes me about an hour. Reading a

What else can phages do, besides kill bacteria? Are bacteria even needed to make them anymore? In this month's Phage Picks issue, we cover phage+AAV hybrids to deliver genes to eukaryotic cells, cell-free phage synthesis, and a bonus must-t

CRISPRi-ART uses dCas13d to bind specific phage mRNAs and stop production of the proteins they encode. By shutting off different phage proteins, researchers can identify which are essential for infection and investigate what they do. The me

PHIStruct is a multilayer perceptron that uses SaProt structure-aware embeddings of receptor-binding proteins to predict hosts among the ESKAPEE genera. The study provides its experimental data and source code on GitHub. Oxford Academic / P

This year we moved from Sydney to San Francisco — what a year. Here's some reflections, things that went well, things that didn't, and some things we learned. Happy holidays to everyone! "Hi everyone, Thanks for making it this far — welcom

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

This month we heard about how Sartorius' columns can bring down endotoxins close to zero. There's also a new phage data resource called Phage Base! Lastly, we also picked a couple of super interesting papers this month — one about how antib

It's Phage Picks time! This week we've got the sixth rendition of our new format, where we share the papers we keep bookmarked, and keep coming back to. Hi phage phans, I hope you’re enjoying the summer! There’s a lot packed into this mon

This week Aaryan Harshith, sophomore student at Stanford (and one of Jess' new labmates!) shares how and why he built a hand-curated database of phage TEM images. Check it out and add yours! Dear Phage community, Since this is my first pos

This month, we recap what we learned about AI spreadsheet tools, how phage funding has changed over the years, and the rise of phage research in Latin America! Hi phage friends! It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these — Jan has

What if we could instantly extract information we need from a spreadsheet (like raw plate reader data) in just a click? Can AI help? This week, Jan writes about a project he worked on for Sphinx Bio, where he tried to extract data from spre
