Took a while to make this teaching slide🧑🎓, so maybe the community will find it useful, or at least criticism will lead me to its improvement😉 Apologies to all bioinformaticians whose 'babies' are not up there🫢

Phage people: Rich Losick and I are combing the world looking for T4 rIIB mutant FC0 (also known as P13). FC0 was the starting point for Francis Crick's beautiful 1961 paper on the triplet nature of the genetic code. We want to sequence it. Anyone have it in an ancient stock collection?
