| Naming Notes | Ibex is named after a wild goat specified by large recurved horns. As I was discussing who is the goat of basketball with my group members, I began to think about Lebron James. While the thought of Lebron lingered through my mind even after leaving the lab, I knew I would have to name my phage after the GOAT (greatest of all time). Low and behold, the name Ibex was born. |
