Viruses dominate the deep-ocean biosphere (>200-m depth) yet remain profoundly understudied. As the most abundant biological entities on Earth, they govern the geochemistry, evolution, and ecology ...

The Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database compiles prokaryotic, viral and eukaryotic genomes from seawater collected from the Great Barrier Reef, providing a rich resource for the study of mar...

Theory-guided experiments reveal single-cell heterogeneity of lysis-associated bacteriophage traits from population scale data.

Prophages are pervasive in the human gut yet largely overlooked in microbiome research, despite substantial functional potential. Emerging evidence indicates that prophages regulate bacterial fitness,...

Over three decades, rapid expansion of the transposable element ISL3 has reshaped Enterococcus faecium, which helps to explain this pathogen’s growing clinical threat.

The human gut microbiome is a complex community of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and viruses that reside within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (1). Notably, much of the literature regarding the...

U.S. health regulators informed senior executives at Merck, Sanofi and AstraZeneca last week that their approved protective RSV treatments for infants would face fresh safety scrutiny following concer...

Klebsiella host strains infected with telomere phages can grow to be the dominant lineage in mixed populations.

A novel personalized phage therapy strategy that selects phages for a predicted evolutionary trade-off may represent a viable alternative approach for the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria...

Stand Up for Science aims to revive a movement that started in 2017, but with an all-new team and a more focused vision.

Johns Hopkins University joined several universities in a lawsuit on Monday evening suing the federal government over NIH funding.

U.S. scientists, unaccustomed to shock-and-awe political assaults, are reeling from President Donald Trump’s executive orders on DEI, gender and other subjects.

Reanalysis of 12,262 longitudinal infant gut microbiome samples using the Marker-MAGu pipeline revealed phage–bacteria dynamics over the first year of life.
