Our main area of research is in making T4's already large capsid even larger, while maintaining phenotypic stability. This was done by taking the isolated large phage and observing there later generations to ensure that their phenotype is inherited. |

We have worked with several different methods of preparation and can manipulate the procedures to accommodate the type of phage and the capsid size of the mutants. |
