How can you use “phages” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In this view, phages could be considered as a powerful way of inventing new genes potentially beneficial to their hosts.
The bacteriophage YRH proteins show no specific relationship with the RDRPs from any one eukaryotic lineage, arguing against a recent lateral transfer from eukaryotes to the phages.
Thus, although bacterial genomes tend to acquire large amounts of DNA, we have shown that those transferred genes have very peculiar features that do not denote a previous genomic context but connect them with parasitic sequences such as phages.
The cross reactive phages from the eluted phage were then subtracted by panning sequentially against human TNFR1, TNFα and TNFβ as a way to obtain peptides specific to the original target.
The sporadic distribution of the RecT and Redβ family proteins in bacterial genomes and their presence in phages suggest that these proteins ultimately are of phage origin and have been co-opted by the bacterial DNA recombination/repair systems.
