SCSU students discovered Mycobacterium smegmatis phage Lilbit (Cluster S) in 2014, and Arthrobacter globiformis (Cluster AZ) phage Tuck in 2020. Though all annotations haven’t been completed, fascinating similarities and variations have been discovered in Lilbit and Tuck. We will present data on several of these.
