The paper reconstructs the MS2 phage genome using cDNA and shows that the current NCBI reference genome does not produce infectious phage, highlighting the need to verify reference genome infectivity.

This study evaluates a genome language model's ability to predict the effects of sequence changes in phages using experimental data, finding mixed success in distinguishing functional from nonfunctional mutations.

The paper identifies temperature-responsive integrases from extremophiles and demonstrates their use in creating temperature-switchable genome editing systems.

This study re-examines pseudolysogeny in phage T3 and T7 under nutrient limitation, finding that both show impaired propagation, and that T3's reported latent state could not be reproduced.

The paper investigates the molecular basis of polar lysis in phage λ using time lapse fluorescence microscopy, finding that the holin forms two-dimensional rafts at cell poles before lysis.
