Predicting a Phage’s Host-Range from Genomic Data
Time: 3:30 pm
day: Day Two
Details:
- Phages are highly specific, often infecting only specific strains within a bacterial species
- Phage infection is a multifactorial trait, based on a variety of characteristics in both phage and host genomes
- We have made significant progress in deciphering some of these genomic features, which enables us to predict the interaction between a phage and its potential hosts
