Phagehunter Wiki

The Wiki

You are reading the main page for the wiki that will be used to navigate the Phagehunting Program. From here you can find all the pages that have been posted to the wiki, edit any of them (regardless of who created them), and even create new pages!

Phamerator

We will use this wiki to make our microbiology and  bioinformatics protocols available to you. In the meantime, if you want to get a head start at looking at the genomes of bacteriophages that infect Mycobacterium smegmatis, check out the online version of our bioinformatics tool, Phamerator.

2009 Phagehunter Teacher Workshop

The 2009 Phagehunting Workshop for high school teachers and post secondary educators will be held June 29 - July 3, 2009 at the University of Pittsburgh.  We will begin promptly at 9:00 AM in A219B Langley Hall.

2008 Phagehunter Teacher Workshop 

The 2008 summer Teacher Workshop was a sweet success. In addition to adding a great microbiology/virus lab to their curriculum, the teacher participatns contributed to the science of the Hatfull lab by annotating and analyzinf the genomes of 5 novel bacteriophages: Fruitloop, Pacc40, Ramsey, Solon, and Troll4.  Look for them in Genbank!  refer to the 2007 workshop link for resource materials or here for new materials addressed in this year's workshop.

Phagehunter Applications 

Undergraduate Opportunities

High School Opportunities

Phagehunting Protocols

For serious phagehunters who want to start their own program.  This section contains the protocols for how to do just that.

Tools for Bioinformatic Analysis

Here you will find links and descriptions of many useful bioinformatic tools that will let you analyze genetic data in a variety of fashions.

Classroom Phagehunting

If you are a survivor of a summer HS Teacher Workshop, you may request and implement the Phagehunting Program in your classroom.  The tools necessary to accomplish this are found here.

Phage Genome(s)

This is the new site for the high school genome.  As genomes become available to annotate, they will be available here.
