Seeker: Alignment-free identification of bacteriophage genomes by deep learning

N. Auslander, A. B. Gussow, S. Benler, Y. I. Wolf, E. V. Koonin

Seeker identifies unknown bacteriophages in metagenomic data using deep learning without relying on sequence similarity to known phages.

A Distinct Contractile Injection System Found in a Majority of Adult Human Microbiomes

M. I. Rojas, G. S. Cavalcanti, K. McNair, S. Benler, A. T. Alker, A. G. Cobian-Guemes, M. Giluso, K. Levi, F. Rohwer, S. Beyhan, R. Edwards, N. J. Shikuma

The paper identifies a widespread Contractile Injection System in adult human microbiomes, suggesting it mediates interactions between Bacteroidales bacteria and the host or microbiome.
