Generic Genome Browser of WUSTL Phages

Welcome to the Generic Genome Browser of WUSTL phages!

Students will have the opportunity to choose which phage they will annotate. Your TA will discuss with you which phage are available and how to access the data on your particular phage. The links below provide access to the genome browser for many WUSTL phages.

To see a complete list of all WUSTL phages visit the Wustl institutional page at the Actinobacteriophage Database.
