Stock M, Van Criekinge W, Boeckaerts D, Taelman S, Van Haeverbeke M, Dewulf P, et al.
PLoS Comput Biol . 2024 Sep; 20(9):e1012426. PMID: 39316621
Advances in bioinformatics are primarily due to new algorithms for processing diverse biological data sources. While sophisticated alignment algorithms have been pivotal in analyzing biological sequences, deep learning has substantially...

Concha-Eloko R, Stock M, De Baets B, Briers Y, Sanjuan R, Domingo-Calap P, et al.
PLoS Comput Biol . 2024 Aug; 20(8):e1011831. PMID: 39102416
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. Many of them produce specific enzymes called depolymerases to break down external polysaccharide structures. Accurate annotation and domain identification of these depolymerases are...

Boeckaerts D, Stock M, Ferriol-Gonzalez C, Oteo-Iglesias J, Sanjuan R, Domingo-Calap P, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 May; 15(1):4355. PMID: 38778023
Phages are increasingly considered promising alternatives to target drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. However, their often-narrow host range can make it challenging to find matching phages against bacteria of interest. Current computational...

Latka A, Aertsen A, Boeckaerts D, Blasdel B, Ceyssens P, Garcia-Pino A, et al.
Viruses . 2023 May; 15(5). PMID: 37243298
The Belgian Society for Viruses of Microbes (BSVoM) was founded on 9 June 2022 to capture and enhance the collaborative spirit among the expanding community of microbial virus researchers in...

Oliveira H, Santos S, Pires D, Boeckaerts D, Pinto G, Domingues R, et al.
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol . 2023 May; 107(11):3621-3636. PMID: 37133800
Citrobacter koseri is an emerging Gram-negative bacterial pathogen, which causes urinary tract infections. We isolated and characterized a novel S16-like myovirus CKP1 (vB_CkoM_CkP1), infecting C. koseri. CkP1 has a host...

Boeckaerts D, Stock M, De Baets B, Briers Y
Viruses . 2022 Jun; 14(6). PMID: 35746800
Receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) of bacteriophages initiate the infection of their corresponding bacterial host and act as the primary determinant for host specificity. The ever-increasing amount of sequence data enables the...

Hufsky F, Beslic D, Boeckaerts D, Duchene S, Gonzalez-Tortuero E, Gruber A, et al.
Viruses . 2022 May; 14(5). PMID: 35632715
The International Virus Bioinformatics Meeting 2022 took place online, on 23-25 March 2022, and has attracted about 380 participants from all over the world. The goal of the meeting was...

Abdelkader K, Gutierrez D, Latka A, Boeckaerts D, Drulis-Kawa Z, Criel B, et al.
Antibiotics (Basel) . 2022 May; 11(5). PMID: 35625321
The rising antimicrobial resistance is particularly alarming for , calling for the discovery and evaluation of alternatives to treat infections. Some bacteriophages produce a structural protein that depolymerizes capsular exopolysaccharide....

Janssens L, Boeckaerts D, Hudson S, Morozova D, Cannaert A, Wood D, et al.
Clin Chem . 2022 Mar; 68(7):906-916. PMID: 35266984
Background: Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) are amongst the largest groups of new psychoactive substances (NPS). Their often high activity at the CB1 cannabinoid receptor frequently results in intoxication, imposing...

Lood C, Boeckaerts D, Stock M, De Baets B, Lavigne R, van Noort V, et al.
Curr Opin Virol . 2021 Dec; 52:174-181. PMID: 34952265
Machine learning has been broadly implemented to investigate biological systems. In this regard, the field of phage biology has embraced machine learning to elucidate and predict phage-host interactions, based on...
