The extraordinary diversity of viruses infecting bacteria and archaea is now primarily studied
through metagenomics. While metagenomes enable high-throughput exploration of the viral …

A growing body of evidence suggests that the gut microbiota contributes to the development
of neurodegenerative diseases via the microbiota-gut-brain axis. As a contributing factor …

Machine learning has been broadly implemented to investigate biological systems. In this
regard, the field of phage biology has embraced machine learning to elucidate and predict …

Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans, exhibiting high abundance and diversity. Here, we
systematically analyze existing genomic sequences of marine prokaryotes to compile a …

Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of
viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains …

Bacteriophages play key roles in bacterial ecology and evolution and are potential
antimicrobials. However, the determinants of phage-host specificity remain elusive. Here, we …

Antimicrobial resistance poses a serious threat to human health and is responsible for the
death of millions of people annually. Hospital wastewater is an important hotspot for …

Phage therapy consists of applying bacteriophages, whose natural function is to kill specific
bacteria. Bacteriophages are safe, evolve together with their host, and are environmentally …

Deep sea cold seep sediments have been discovered to harbor novel, abundant, and
diverse bacterial and archaeal viruses. However, little is known about viral genetic features …

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria shaping microbial communities
and ecosystems. They have gained attention as potential agents against antibiotic …
