The paper quantifies antiviral defenses in marine prokaryoplankton using single-amplified genomes to show taxon-specific defense repertoires and lateral transfer of defense systems.

The paper quantifies phage interactions with prokaryoplankton in the tropical ocean, revealing non-infective associations and genetic exchange between phages.

This paper presents a phylogenomic framework for tailed phages using gene presence/absence data to reconstruct evolutionary relationships and quantify gene exchange events.
