Naming Notes"Been-" is a combination of our first names, Kathleen and Bora. The "-dashian" was derived from the show "Keeping up with the Kardashians". Our phage has a unique nature, given its plaque sizes were constantly varying. Since the Kardashians also have a unique personality this name is a perfect fit for our phage.
