| Detailed Information for Phage TipsytheTRex |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Former names | TipsytheTRex |
| Found By | Brooke Burns |
| Year Found | 2015 |
| Location Found | Cullowhee, NC USA |
| Finding Institution | Western Carolina University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 24°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 35.3121 N, 83.1805 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Tipsy was discovered on Western Carolina University's campus between the Stillwell Science building and McKee building near a drain. The soil sample had a worm in it. |
| Naming Notes | TipsytheTRex originated due to the phage's large capsid, which may cause the phage to be 'tipsy' because it has a small tail to support it, similar to that of a T-Rex. |
