'we show that an average human gut contains a low ratio of phage particles to bacterial cells (~1:100), but a much larger ratio of phage genomes to bacterial genomes (~4:1), implying that most gut phage are effectively temperate'
Abundance measurements reveal the balance between lysis and lysogeny in the human gut microbiome https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.27.614587v1
The human gut contains diverse communities of bacteriophage, whose interactions with the broader mic
Strainy: phasing and assembly of strain haplotypes from long-read metagenome sequencing www.nature.com/articles/s41...github.com/katerinakaza...
This work presents Strainy, a long-read metagenome assembler that allows the identification of strain distributions and mutational patterns in environmental metagenomes.

From Ben Good: competition btwn linked mutations can..enhance selection for modifiers that increase benefits of future mutations, even when they impose a strong direct cost on fitness. However..modest direct benefits can..drive evolutionary dead ends to fixation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Evolvability modifier mutations alter the rates and benefits of future mutations, but it is difficult to predict when they will be favoured by natural selection. A mathematical framework shows that co...
