Students break new ground in understanding genetic diversity of bacteriophages

28 abril 2015

Over the last seven years, thousands of undergraduate students have sequenced and analyzed the genomes of bacteria-infecting viruses, known as bacteriophages. Those genomes are now the focal point of a new study that examined the genetic diversity of 627 phages isolated from a single species of bacteria. The study shows a continuum of genetic diversity rather than discrete groups within the population of bacteriophages studied.
