| Discovery Notes | The sample for DIANA was collected from a tree that was recently planted about 4 years ago. DIANA was originally one phage, but two morphologies formed, which formed HecaD and MenE. |
| Naming Notes | The original sample, DIANA, is named after my mother, who passed away in 2019. Diana is a Roman goddess that is often considered a moon goddess. She is also often considered a triple deity, being merged with Hecate, the Roman goddess of the new moon, ghosts, and magic, and Selene, the personification of the moon. My mother adored the crescent moon and would tell me that if I ever needed her and she wasn’t there, that I could talk to the moon. I wanted to dedicate these phages to her so that I know she is with me every step of the way. The “E” in MenE stands for Elizabeth, my mother’s middle name. |
