About a year ago, Danos took some soil samples from our backyard in Brooklyn looking for new macrophages. He found one, sequenced it and it turned out to be unique! Because he discovered it, he gets the official naming rights and we chose to name it after our dog Kugel.
Unlike Kugel the dog, Kugel the macrophage has a 3’ overhang length of 10bp and a stunning CGGATGGTAA overhang sequence, which is pretty cool.
Detailed information about Phage Kugel is available online at phagesdb.org.
