The Phage Time Continuum: Genome Organization Constrains Anti-CRISPR Success

The paper examines how the timing of anti-CRISPR gene expression in phages affects CRISPR-Cas interactions, finding that spacers map to earlier positions in genomes containing anti-CRISPR systems.

Robust Inference of Phage Host Infection Dynamics from Sparse Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiles in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The paper uses scRNA-seq to study phage-host interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and identifies non-random infection patterns using machine learning.

Sociality changes Gene Essentiality

The paper shows social interactions in phages distort gene essentiality by masking true fitness costs through complementation, and proposes an MOI-based strategy to classify sociality.

Phage Steering in the Presence of a Competing Bacterial Pathogen

This study shows that Phage Steering with Luz19 can steer Pseudomonas aeruginosa to lose type IV pilus function even in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus.

Community-wide interactions sustain life in geothermal spring habitats

The paper studies how a geothermal spring community responds to diurnal stressors, revealing structured biotic interactions across domains of life.
