Here the authors propose guidance on the process of establishing a state-of-the-art collection of microorganisms, including project planning, strain deposition and the naming of new taxa.

How we write scientific papers does not reflect how we do science, masking the human in the process by design. This Perspective invites us to consider the structure of the scientific paper, and the ne...

The T7 bacteriophage deactivates bacterial defence systems through T7K phosphorylation of nearly all host and phage proteins during infection.
