Happy #WorldPhageDay.
Tiny, abundant, and anything but boring, phages shape microbial communities, move genes around, and can tip the balance in all kinds of ecosystems.
The catch: to know a #phage only you must know its host. ProxiMeta Hi-C technology gives us that link.

When sample quality is low, insight usually is too. Not with Genomic Proximity Mapping™ (GPM).
Phase Genomics’ GPM works on #FFPE and mosaic samples. It’s just one assay, no metaphase prep, and no tradeoff in resolution. A new preprint shows how: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
