Researchers have mapped out what a commonly-used form of phage looks like, which will help design better uses in future. New insights into the structure of phages will enable researchers to develop ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

New insights into the structure of phages will enable researchers to develop new uses for the viruses in biotechnology. Phages are viruses that infect bacteria, which enables them to be exploited as ...
