Genome-wide identification of bacterial genes contributing to nucleus-forming jumbo phage infection. [PDF]
Nucleic Acids ResThe Chimalliviridae family of bacteriophages (phages) form a proteinaceous nucleus-like structure during infection of their bacterial hosts. This phage ‘nucleus’ compartmentalises phage DNA replication and transcription, and shields the phage genome from
