UMBC researchers, Julie Norton, Kevin Liao, Mimi Way and Brittnie Prakash will be presenting a poster in the University Center Ballroom from 12-2pm on a bacteriophage from Russian soil!!!

The researchers ran a series of host-range tests, and isolated the TsarBomba DNA and submitted it to the University of Pittsburgh for sequencing. The TsarBomba genome was also being annotated by the Phage Genome Analysis class at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
