Current sequencing technologies allow for the rapid and inexpensive sequencing of
complete bacteriophage genomes, using small quantities of nucleic acid as starting material …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are pervasive in gut microbiota, but it remains unclear
how often ARGs are transferred, particularly to pathogens. Traditionally, ARG spread is …

Rapidly thawing permafrost harbors∼ 30 to 50% of global soil carbon, and the fate of this
carbon remains unknown. Microorganisms will play a central role in its fate, and their viruses …

The bacteriophage population is large, dynamic, ancient, and genetically diverse. Limited
genomic information shows that phage genomes are mosaic, and the genetic architecture of …

The bacteriophage population is vast, dynamic, old, and genetically diverse. The genomics
of phages that infect bacterial hosts in the phylum Actinobacteria show them to not only be …

While taxonomy is an often-unappreciated branch of science it serves very important roles.
Bacteriophage taxonomy has evolved from a mainly morphology-based discipline …

Glycosylation of eukaryotic virus particles is common and influences their uptake, trafficking,
and immune recognition. In contrast, glycosylation of bacteriophage particles has not been …

Rapidly thawing permafrost harbors 30 to 50% of global soil carbon, and the fate of this
carbon remains unknown. Microorganisms will play a central role in its fate, and their viruses …

American Foulbrood (AFB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria, Paenibacillus
larvae. P. larvae phages were isolated and tested to determine each phages' host range …

The vast bacteriophage population harbors an immense reservoir of genetic information.
Almost 2000 phage genomes have been sequenced from phages infecting hosts in the …
