We welcome submissions that include, but are not limited to:
- Engineering phage components for targeted delivery of molecular payloads (e.g., DNA, RNA, proteins).
- Novel applications of phage display and next-generation screening or evolution platforms.
- Structural studies (cryo-EM, cryo-ET, X-ray crystallography) revealing mechanisms of phage assembly, host
recognition, genome packaging, genome ejection, or conformational dynamics. - Phage-derived enzymes (e.g., lysins, polymerases, recombinases, integrases, nucleases, anti-CRISPR proteins,
packaging motors) for molecular diagnostics, genome editing, nanomechanical systems, and high-efficiency
biochemical reactions. - Use of phages and phage proteins as programmable scaffolds for synthetic biology, biomaterials, and nanomaterial
construction. - Development or repurposing of phage transcription, replication, and regulatory systems for biotechnology, cell-free
production, or regulated expression platforms. - Studies on phage-encoded mechanisms of gene regulation and their integration into synthetic control circuits.
- Mechanistic and structural insights from clinical phage biology informing delivery strategies or rational therapeutic
platform design.
