Good Morning! Many research articles are posted! Highlights include a study describing hyper targeted phages in the human gut and a virome database, and construction of a pathway in a heterologus organism to pruduce secondary bile molecules for efforts to engineer and control bacterial metabolites in diseases. Happy readings!
