| Discovery Notes | This phage was found right in front of the Chase Apartments in downtown Blacksburg, VA. During DNA sequencing, it was discovered that Techage was mixed with another phage. Brianna Chop and Cameron Myers separated the two phages in the lab. |
| Naming Notes | Since I found this phage at Virginia Tech, I decided to combine the two names together to create "Techage" |
