The paper develops ACTIVE to profile prophage activity in gut bacteria, revealing 5.4% of prophages are active under standard culture and identifying distinct viral lineages.

The paper shows that combining specific microbes with phage treatment improves pathogen exclusion in shrimp, highlighting the synergy between phage predation and microbial competition.

This study uses CRISPR-Cas12a to delete genes in cyanophages, reducing genome size by 6.6% and identifying nonessential genes for propagation.

The paper develops a neural network framework to identify microbial markers associated with Type 2 Diabetes using metagenomic data, finding fasting blood glucose is a significant factor.
