TL;DR: A general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics is developed, showing that this alliance-sourced model not only substantially advances the field of phage genomics but also stimulates students’ interest in science, positively influences academic achievement, and enhances persistence inScience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

TL;DR: Characterization of ten Cluster N temperate mycobacteriophages revealed at least five distinct prophage-expressed viral defence systems that interfere with the infection of lytic and temperate phages that are either closely related (homotypic defence) or unrelated (heterotypic Defence) to the prophages.

TL;DR: Expansion of the number of mycobacteriophages grouped within Cluster A provides insights into the basis of immune specificity in these temperate phages, and a novel example of apparent immunity theft is described.

Ameson michaelis (microsporida) in the blue crab, callinectes sapidus: parasite-induced alterations in the biochemical composition of host tissues
TL;DR: Effects of A. michaelis sporogenesis were observed by comparing the biochemical composition of thoracic and cheliped skeletal musculature and the concentration of nine of the sixteen amino acids detected remained unchanged with infection.
