Phys.org describes a tool for mutating phages—viruses that infect bacteria—and investigating genes whose functions remain unknown.
TLDR
Phys.org reports that genome-wide mutations can identify which genes phages need to survive. The new tool offers researchers a way to investigate phage genes whose functions remain unknown.
