The paper identifies diverse phage-encoded proteins associated with bacterial cell envelope functions in huge phages, revealing potential roles in host interactions.

The paper shows that phage-host predictions from MAGs are unreliable due to scaffold-level errors and proposes a validation framework to improve accuracy.

The paper identifies conjugative megaplasmids in the human gut microbiome that can disseminate prophage genomes across bacterial lineages, explaining their wide distribution.

This study analyzes RNA virus diversity in wastewater treatment plants, identifying new viral lineages and their ecological and health implications.
