Prophage Finder: A Prophage Loci Prediction Tool for Prokaryotic Genome Sequences
In Silico Biology: Journal of Biological Systems Modeling and Multi-Scale Simulation, 2006 Prophage loci often remain under-annotated or even unrecognized in prokaryotic genome sequencing projects. A PHP application, Prophage Finder, has been developed and implemented to predict prophage loci, based upon clusters of phage-related gene products encoded within DNA sequences.

Viruses, 2021 Prophage 919TP is widely distributed among Vibrio cholera and is induced to produce free φ919TP phage particles. However, the interactions between prophage φ919TP, the induced phage particle, and its host remain unknown.

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Prophage Genomics and Ecology in the Family Rhodobacteraceae
Microorganisms, 2021 Roseobacters are globally abundant bacteria with critical roles in carbon and sulfur biogeochemical cycling. Here, we identified 173 new putative prophages in 79 genomes of Rhodobacteraceae.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with ~300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub‐clinically infected long‐term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating strains could provide valuable transmission insights of this pathogen.

Host population structure and species resolution reveal prophage transmission dynamics
mBioMuch knowledge about bacteriophages has been obtained via genomics and metagenomics over the last decades. However, most studies dealing with prophage diversity have rarely conducted phage species delimitation (aspect 1) and have hardly integrated the ...

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT BosR is a novel nucleic acid‐binding protein in the ferric uptake regulator (FUR) family that regulates gene expression in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia (Borreliella) burgdorferi. This issue of Molecular Microbiology contains a comprehensive transcriptomic study that keenly defines the regulatory swath of BosR in the vertebrate host of ...

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.
