The paper studies RNA phage infection dynamics in E. coli, showing bacterial population rebound despite viral replication and cell death.

The paper infers viral proteins acting as public goods during coinfection in bacteriophage MS2 using experimental evolution data and Bayesian inference.

The paper identifies point-mutant cheater viruses in MS2 bacteriophage that disrupt the replication cycle with dual defects and advantages, and shows helper mutations often co-occur nearby.

This study uses full genome SARS-CoV-2 sequences from Israel to trace viral spread, find multiple introductions, and show the impact of social distancing on transmission.

The paper introduces AssociVar, a statistical method to detect true mutations from MinION sequencing data by distinguishing them from random sequencing errors.
