Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

Researchers have described the full molecular structure of the phage DEV, which uses a genome ejection motor to infect <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>.

Antibiotic resistance could be overcome if phage therapies were produced more efficiently, for example, through the use of recombitrons.

Scientists have assembled the most complete 3D reconstruction of the woolly mammoth genome, thanks to an incredibly well-preserved specimen that was “freeze-dried” straight after death. With ...

Thanks to the newly discovered flash-frozen DNA, the project is the first to assemble an enormous ancient genome in 3D.

The team studied the genome packaging motor containing both TerL and TerS from a bacterial virus called phage lambda, which uses a similar packaging process as human herpesvirus.

To speed the translation of phage therapies to the clinic, researchers are exploring delivery strategies, phage-antibiotic synergies, and genome modifications.

Advancements in synthetic biology and CRISPR-Cas technology have enabled the modification of phage genomes beyond the common model phages, such as T4, T7, or lambda.
