Abstract

The Bacteriophage Ecology Group (BEG, phage.org) is an online community and resource hub dedicated to the ecology of bacteriophages and related disciplines. Founded in 1996 and named after The Phage Group of Phages and the Origins of Molecular Biology fame, BEG serves as a means of organizing the bacteriophage ecology community, fostering communication, and empowering the science of phage ecology. The site hosts a growing suite of free, browser-based calculators for phage biology and phage therapy, long-form essay-style Phage Takes, a phage name-checking tool, and links to companion resources including phage-therapy.org and biologyaspoetry.com.
