Bacterial Endospores as Phage Genome Carriers and Protective Shells. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2018 Bacteriophages are being considered for the control of multidrug-resistant and other problematic bacteria in environmental systems. However, the efficacy of phage-based microbial control is limited by infectivity loss during phage delivery and/or storage.

The mobility of packaged phage genome controls ejection dynamics. [PDF]
Elife, 2018 The cell decision between lytic and lysogenic infection is strongly influenced by dynamics of DNA injection into a cell from a phage population, as phages compete for limited resources and progeny.

CRISPR Immunity Drives Rapid Phage Genome Evolution in
mBio, 2015 Many bacteria rely on CRISPR-Cas systems to provide adaptive immunity against phages, predation by which can shape the ecology and functioning of microbial communities.

Evolutionary Stability of a Refactored Phage Genome [PDF]
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2012 Engineered genetic systems are commonly unstable; if propagated, they evolve to reverse or modify engineered elements because the elements impair fitness.

PHASTER: a better, faster version of the PHAST phage search tool
Nucleic Acids Research, 2016 PHASTER (PHAge Search Tool – Enhanced Release) is a significant upgrade to the popular PHAST web server for the rapid identification and annotation of prophage sequences within bacterial genomes and plasmids.

Modeling the fitness consequences of a cyanophage-encoded photosynthesis gene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Phages infecting marine picocyanobacteria often carry a psbA gene, which encodes a homolog to the photosynthetic reaction center protein, D1. Host encoded D1 decays during phage infection in the light.

A Roadmap for Genome-Based Phage Taxonomy
Viruses, 2021 Bacteriophage (phage) taxonomy has been in flux since its inception over four decades ago. Genome sequencing has put pressure on the classification system and recent years have seen significant changes to phage taxonomy.

bioRxiv, 2023 We recently discovered that some bacteriophages establish a nucleus-like replication compartment (phage nucleus), but the core genes that define nucleus-based phage replication and their phylogenetic distribution were unknown.
