Since 2011, Ohio State has been involved in the SEA-PHAGES Program, a consortium of >100 institutions that aims to expose undergraduate students to phage biology and the scientific method through the isolation of phages from the soil. SEA-PHAGES is jointly administered by Graham Hatfull’s group at the University of Pittsburgh and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science Education division. Ohio State is part of SEA-PHAGES since its debut, and OSU students have contributed 202 phage genomes so far (link here to its ‘Actinophage database’).
