The researchers took a “safety-first” approach. They deliberately excluded all viruses that infect humans or animals from the ...

In a sealed lab, a string of code has become something stranger and more unsettling than software. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have written the genetic instructions for a virus that has ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

Artificial intelligence has crossed a new threshold in biology, helping design viruses that can seek out and kill drug resistant bacteria such as dangerous strains of E. coli. Instead of discovering ...

This is a 3D printed model of Bacteriophage Q-Beta, a virus that commonly infects E. Coli and it's about 2 million times larger than the actual virus. Asst. Prof. Jon Pokorski, in the department of ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As ...

Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

The atomic structure of the bacteriophage φTE, which kills plant pathogens, has been revealed for the first time, advancing the understanding of its infection mechanism. Okinawa Institute of Science ...
