Preprint: Hecatomb: an end-to-end research platform for viral metagenomics.

Hi everyone, after being virtual in 2021, our 2022 "Viral EcoGenomics and Applications" (VEGA) meeting is back in-person Oct 6 – 7, in the beautiful and sunny (although sometimes a bit foggy) Bay Area! (specifically on the Berkeley Lab camp

Kema Malki (University of South Florida) and colleagues published a paper in AEM on spatial and temporal dynamics of prokaryotic and viral community assemblages in a lotic system. They looked at prokaryotic and viral abundance and diversity

Luis Camarillo-Guerrero (Wellcome Sanger Insititute) and colleagues published a paper on the prevalence of viral diversity in the human gut, along with a new Gut Phage Database (142,809 non-redundant gut phage genomes from 28,060 metagenome

Carmen (@PhageAnt on Twitter) would like to hear from you! Do you have any recommendations for any conferences/talks that are heavily involved in viral metagenomics? Reply to the Twitter post if you have any suggestions!

Recently, it has been demonstrated that inherited symbionts may protect their hosts from certain pathogens. Such protective phenotypes are potentially beneficial in terms of host fitness, and thus could aid symbiont establishment. This pred
