Viruses that infect and kill bacteria, called phages, hold promise as new treatment types for dangerous infections, including ...

evaluating phage diversity in the environment, visualizing their phage via electron microscopy, and extracting phage DNA. Students even get to name their phage. Between semesters, the purified DNA ...

In the spring semester, you’ll investigate the DNA sequence and structure of your phage's genomes and compare them to the database of known phages. All students can present research results at local ...

A new study reveals how a single species of bacteria can sustain a diverse community of phage species, with implications for ...

The genomic DNA from some of the novel phages are sequenced and students use bioinformatics tools to annotate the phage genomes. Student results are archived in the mycobacteriophage database and the ...

Insights into how diverse phage communities coexist within a single E. coli strain could lead to newer, more effective phage-based therapies.

phage therapy is once again sparking interest among physicians and scientists—although it remains complex in practice because of the great diversity and specificity of phages. Against this ...
