A quick and easy study to do with phages (I use RNA phage phi6) is to generate host range mutants. I've done this with 9 cohorts of middle schoolers and one high school class (the high school class sequenced the resulting phages and determined the point mutations responsible).
You could do an evolution project like @DuffyLab does. Or use diatom viruses which are species specific, and get them to change species. See next week's #TWiV for more on that. For extreme virology try @XtremeVirusProf - of course!https://twitter.com/markowenmartin/status/1162890914127200256 …

The activities before using the phage-- practice with dilution series -- are up on my website https://lab.siobain.com/Teaching.html and I'm happy to share my MS phage host range mutation worksheets (DM me or email me at Rutgers). Will get them up online sometime this year too!
