In this two-semester program, you’ll gather specimens and isolate a unique bacterial virus, called a “phage.” You will use research methods to characterize and analyze your phage, and then catalog ...

As a member of the Phage Discovery community, you will learn how science is truly done through first-hand experience starting your first day at college, while building community with 20 outstanding ...

In this way, scientists could retain only positive clones and immediately use their selected phage to generate more phages. This made screening higher throughput, as researchers could screen thousands ...

The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...

Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

At the heart of the SEA Program is Phage Hunters Advancing Genomic and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES). SEA-PHAGES is a two-semester, course-based research project aimed at undergraduate ...
