New paper: Viral Tag & Grow: a scalable method to capture & characterize virus-host pairs with flow cytometry and plating
A new research article from Dr. Ho Bin Jang (a former postdoc in the Sullivan Lab), describes an improved laboratory method, ‘Viral Tag and Grow’, that enables high-throughput capture and characterization of virus-host pairs. This entails using a host bacterium…
