UP{varphi} phages, a new group of filamentous phages found in several members of Enterobacteriales

The paper identifies a new group of filamentous phages, UP{phi} viruses, found in multiple bacterial species and environments, including clinical isolates and patient samples.

Gene networks provide a high-resolution view of bacteriophage ecology

The paper develops a gene-level network method to predict bacteriophage hosts and identify genes involved in virus-host interactions with 86% genus-level accuracy.
