Isolating a new bacteriophage is the first step in an exciting journey, not just in the laboratory, but also computationally. In this seminar, I will provide a basic guide into the steps involved in phage genome sequencing, annotation and classification.

As the #WorldPhageWeek 2020 comes to an end, we expect that you must have learnt something, if not everything about the lovely #phages.
Show us how much you #LoveThePhage by attempting the #quiz below!

No #cheating please :)

Do let us know how many guesses you took 🤥

[International Bacteriophage Research Consortium @phageconsortium]

Uh oh! Our saviour has been caught. He keeps on anyway!
#Phages have been known to have #antibacterial properties, all thanks to the #endolysins they secrete. This can certainly be mankind's hope for fight against #AMR.
