| Discovery Notes | Phage Terminus was isolated from soil collected from a potted palm tree plant in Los Angeles, CA. Phage Terminus was isolated, characterized and annotated by teams BLAST from the Phage (Jenny Kan, Kevin Louie, Camille Ocampo) and Hakuna Maphagea (Tracy De los Santos, Benjamin Lopez). Instructor: Giorgia Pirino. TA: Rocky Ng. Annotation was quality checked by Stella Joh. |
| Naming Notes | Terminus is the name of the Roman god of boundaries. It also means the "end of the line" for transportation routes. In the popular TV show The Walking Dead, Terminus is the name of a survivor camp of cannibals housed in a railway terminal station. |
