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: Three new phages constituting a new cluster M further expand the diversity of the mycobacteriophages and introduce novel features, providing insights into phage genome architecture, virion structure, and gene regulation at the transcriptional and translational levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upgraded expression of 5S rRNA preludes the production of fibroin by spider glands.
TL;DR: This work shows the upgraded accumulation of 5S rRNA in the glands of the orb-web spider Nephila clavipes as response to the stimulus within the earliest of the prelude events.
