The Human Virome Program will analyse samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...

In this two-semester program, you’ll gather specimens and isolate a unique bacterial virus, called a “phage.” You will use research methods to characterize and analyze your phage, and then catalog ...

Scientists continue to learn more and more about bacteria that exists naturally inside our gut. Researchers at Virginia Tech ...

Bacteriophages, the most abundant life form on Earth, infect bacterial cells and influence the structure of the microbial ...

John McCafferty, Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease Additionally, because the protein would be bound to the bacteriophage with the inserted DNA, the product and ...

Researchers from the Skoltech Laboratory for Metagenome Analysis, which is led by Assistant Professor Artem Isaev, and their colleagues from the United Kingdom have studied the BREX methyltransferase ...

Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, they make so many copies of themselves that the bacteria burst.
