Washington – Idaho Phage Working Group (WaId)

Working Group leader: Holly Wichman

Group members: LuAnn Scott, Elissa Schwartz, Karen Biggs, Clay Bailes

Originated: March, 2018

Description:

This group supports a collaboration between the Schwartz lab and the Wichman lab to investigate the behavior, biological relevance, and evolution of resistance to a self-inhibitory sequence found in the Microvirid genome.

We are currently working on a manuscript from Karen Biggs’ dissertation work and anticipate submission by the end of the semester.  We are also guiding Clay Bailes’ work on this system.
