There are a lot of phage-related publications out there, and far more readers eager to learn from them. It can be daunting, however, to figure out which primary literature is perfect for your specific needs.

We at PhagesDB.org decided that some expert guidance might be helpful to the larger phage community. We've created PubGroups as a way of categorizing and highlighting some of the most useful phage publications. Our goal is to help you find papers that are appropriate for you, whether you're a high school student or a tenured professor.
