dc.description.abstract	Exhibit featuring the work of undergraduate students in the Phage Hunters course (BIOL 1135, 1136) a two-semester lab course that gives students the opportunity to find a bacteriophage in local soil. During the first half of the course, they isolate and characterize their phage. They get to name their phage and enter the data they collected in an online database at the end of the semester. The students select the most unique and interesting phages to be sent for genome sequencing over Winter Break. During the second half of the course, the students study the phage genomes gene by gene and ultimately submit their annotations to GenBank. They get to compare and contrast their phage with previously annotated phage to learn about the functions of the genes. This exhibit highlights the steps of phage discovery and characterization lab by providing examples of data collected by students over three years. 2018/03/12 - 2018/07/30	en
