PhaVIP: Phage VIrion Protein classification based on chaos game representation and Vision Transformer [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Motivation: As viruses that mainly infect bacteria, phages are key players across a wide range of ecosystems. Analyzing phage proteins is indispensable for understanding phages' functions and roles in microbiomes. High-throughput sequencing enables us to obtain phages in different microbiomes with low cost. However, compared to the fast accumulation of

Network Models of Phage-Bacteria Coevolution [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 74, 066105 (2006), 2006 Bacteria and their bacteriophages are the most abundant, widespread and diverse groups of biological entities on the planet. In an attempt to understand how the interactions between bacteria, virulent phages and temperate phages might affect the diversity of these groups, we developed a novel stochastic network model for examining the co-evolution of ...

Role of osmotic and hydrostatic pressures in bacteriophage genome ejection [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 87, 022114 (2013), 2012 A critical step in the bacteriophage life cycle is genome ejection into host bacteria. The ejection process for double-stranded DNA phages has been studied thoroughly \textit{in vitro}, where after triggering with the cellular receptor the genome ejects into a buffer.
