The paper shows bacterial strain identity is the main factor determining phage infectivity in Achromobacter, with lineage and strain identity explaining 90% of variation in infection efficiency.

Sphae is a bioinformatics pipeline that rapidly assesses phage therapeutic potential by analyzing genomic markers for safety and efficacy in under ten minutes.

Phables improves phage genome recovery from fragmented viral metagenome assemblies, recovering more high-quality genomes and resolving variants with high nucleotide identity.

This study isolates and characterizes three novel Crassvirales phages infecting Bacteroides cellulosilyticus WH2, revealing they do not co-evolve with their hosts and share a conserved tail spike protein involved in host interaction.

The paper presents a gold-standard dataset of manually curated bacterial genomes and a framework to evaluate prophage prediction algorithms, showing their performance metrics across seven tools.
