SEA-PHAGES Papers (17)
The papers in this group are partially or completely authored by members of HHMI's Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES) program. The program began in Fall 2008 with 12 colleges and universities teaching a two-semester phage discovery and genomics class, and has grown to include over 70 schools and 1400 students.
Expanding the diversity of mycobacteriophages: Insights into genome architecture and evolution
PLoSOne
Pope WH et al, 2011
With 192 authors contributing to the discovery and characterization of 18 new phages, this paper brought the total number of published mycobacteriophage genomes to 80. The paper discusses (among other topics) overall phage diversity, mobile elements, and immunity/immunity theft.
