Attention, phage friends! Our new work on predicting phage-host interactions is out in Nature Microbiology since yesterday! 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Phylogeny-agnostic strain-level prediction of phage–host interactions from genomes using machine learning - Nature Microbiology
This platform identifies phages capable of infecting specific bacterial strains using genome sequences alone and could enable rational phage-therapy design and precision microbiome engineering.

🔥Preprint fresh off the press🔥 Hello Bluesky! I'm delighted to share the story I have been working on for the past 3y in @vivekmutalik.bsky.social's lab at LBNL and Adam Arkin's lab @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social. It's a wild story about 255 phages & 1,000+ HT genetic screens, are you ready? 🧵
