This kit utilizes a rapid spin column method to purify total DNA from a wide range of bacteriophages cultured in liquid-grown ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...

The first antibiotics made once-deadly infections curable, and their early developers were lauded with a Nobel. But these ...

Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene, an antibiotic resistance gene, and a packaging signal. Then they ...

If you're interested in participating in the phage research course, we encourage you to apply! Please also ask a teacher to fill out our easy recommendation form (no formal letter of recommendation ...

The Phage Genomics Lab courses ,sponsored by the HHMI Science Education Alliance, offers introductory biology students an authentic research experience. Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the ...

Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophages or phages, were discovered nearly 100 years ago. Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage ...

Phage biology is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of all biological aspects of bacteriophages (phages), which are viruses that infect bacteria. This includes the distribution ...
