Researchers have published a set of thirteen practical guidelines designed to help scientists annotate bacteriophage genomes accurately and prevent the spread of annotation errors in public databases.

A new command-line tool called PELICAN improves gene detection in bacteriophage genomes through a four-stage annotation ...

Guntur team reports successful phage therapy for multidrug-resistant infections, outlining a promising, patient-recovering ...

Radical Numerics, an AI research lab building general biological intelligence, today launched Omnii-1, a biological AI model that learns across DNA, RNA, proteins and other molecular data. Researchers ...

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are powerful medicines because they are a single chemical compound capable of disrupting essential microbial processes shared by many types of microbes. In medical and ...

From medicine to agriculture and aquaculture, bacteriophages are poised to have a huge global impact. As viruses which target only bacterial cells, they hold promise as an alternative to antibiotics, ...

The word "virus" is often associated with negative connotations. However, it is important to note that not all viruses are harmful. In fact, there are many viruses that live inside our bodies and play ...

A team of micro- and immunobiologists from the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine, Yale University, and the University of Pittsburgh has found evidence suggesting that future research teams planning ...

Using AI, researchers have designed complete, functional bacteriophage genomes from scratch and tested them against bacteria that had evolved resistance to a natural bacteriophage. Their work marks a ...
