We wanted to pass along the following opportunity that recently came to our attention. If you know of any SEA-PHAGES alumni who are finishing up graduate degrees and still have an interest in Mycobacteria, please let them know!
From Dr. Roy Curtiss III:
Josephine Clark-Curtiss and I are relocating our lab ...

It's that time of year: weather is warming, spring semesters are winding down, and taxes and Symposium abstracts are due.
This year, the due date for submitting abstracts for the 7th Annual SEA-PHAGES Symposium is 11:59 pm on April 21, 2015.
To submit an abstract for the meeting, you must be a verified ...

Issue #2 of Message in a Bottle, the SEA-PHAGES newsletter, is now available. See the 17 schools that will be joining the program in 2015-16, hear from Graham, and see who the keynote speaker at this year's Symposium will be.

Because there were very few changes made in the 2015 version of the SEA Virtual Machine, we decided not to request that all schools replace their 2014 VMs with the 2015 one. If you've got the 2014 VM installed, you'll have no trouble running Phamerator, AceUtil, Newbler, consed ...

For anyone looking for some extra phage genome sequencing, the Genomics Sciences Laboratory at NC State is offering affordable Illumina runs again this year. Jenn Schaff is the contact person there, and she says:
For those of you who didn't qualify for the free sequencing and still have extra phages to sequence before ...

Recently, Eric Miller at NC State asked me about phage genome ends, and how a 3' overhang (sticky end) would look in an assembled genome compared to how a 5' overhang would look. So I made a picture! Hopefully it explains how you might diagnose either of these cases from sequencing reads, and ...

If you've been phage hunting with a host that's IN the order Actinomycetales, but is NOT Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155, the Hatfull lab would like to sequence your phages' genomes free of charge. So that means if you have DNA for phages found on Rhodococcus, Arthrobacter, Streptomyces ...

Hopefully, everyone in the SEA-PHAGES community is well into the swing of the new semester. Now is a great time to start collecting some institution-specific data and aggregating it into program-wide numbers. In the next couple of days, an email will be sent to SEA-PHAGES faculty inviting them to begin using seaphages.org ...

This year, all "official" (HHMI-supported) SEA-PHAGES sequencing will take place at the University of Pittsburgh. Because schools on the quarter system begin their semesters later, we have two separate deadlines for DNA submission this year.
Please send your genomic DNA so that it arrives in Pittsburgh by November 21, 2014 ...
