Finally, PHORAGER is freely available as open-source software (github.com/aponsero/PHO...) and the ESKAPE prophage collection generated in this study is available online as a reusable resource for further investigations (zenodo.org/records/1832...) Happy PHORAGING! 🦠🧬🧺

If you work with Klebsiella phages, you would probably like to know what genes are involved in resistance. Check out @deuskamya.bsky.social’s poster at #VoM2026 featuring lots of mutants.

Earlier today at #VoM2026 @revathykri.bsky.social presented her work on the virus population sharing between mothers and infants. She did a amazing job! Find her during breaks to talk methods, findings and everything virome!

My favorite NPR story blog - “Goats and Soda” sent a writer and photographer to a rural school in India; an early adopter of Foldscope. A wonderful photo story of kids “reading nature”. In this current challenging climate - the kids show us the way with joy and wonder. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Mo Pandiarajan, founder of Eden school, shows students a view of a specimen in a Foldscope, which he's attached to his mobile phone.
Photo credit: Viraj Nayer for NPRA.Santhos inserts a slide into the foldscope. He is a former student who lives in the neigbourhood and keeps in touch with the students of his alma mater, often taking them for nature walks to examine the world around them through the foldscope.

If you have been using #anvio to analyze your microbial pangenomes, we have a new program for you to calculate rarefaction curves or Heaps' Law fit for your gene clusters: anvio.org/help/main/pr... Sorry it took this long :/ But at least t will run on any existing anvi'o pangenome :)
