Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Prophage WO encodes a putative lytic cassette.
, 2022 Adjacent to the tail module of most prophage WO variants are three phage lysis candidates: ankyrin repeat containing protein (not shown), holin-like, and patatin-like phospholipase.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.Despite the small genome size, ssDNA virus FLiP is remarkably well adapted to the seasonal variations of boreal fresh waters demonstrating excellent condition and host specific flexibility in its host interactions. FLiP plaques detected far from the original infection site represent a previously undescribed phenomenon, likely caused by the phage non ...

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...
