Comparative Genomic Analysis of 130 Bacteriophages Infecting Bacteria in the Genus Pseudomonas

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas are genetically diverse and ubiquitous in the environment. Like other bacteria, those of the genus Pseudomonas are susceptible to bacteriophages which can significantly affect their host in many ways, ranging from cell ...

Complete Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium smegmatis Phages NihilNomen and Carlyle, Isolated in Las Vegas, Nevada [PDF]

, 2019
We present the complete genomes of the Mycobacterium smegmatis phages Carlyle and NihilNomen, isolated from soil in Las Vegas, Nevada. The phages were isolated and annotated by undergraduate students enrolled in the Phage Discovery course offered by the ...

Making serine integrases work for us [PDF]

, 2017
DNA site-specific recombinases are enzymes (often associated with mobile DNA elements) that catalyse breaking and rejoining of DNA strands at specific points, thereby bringing about precise genetic rearrangements.

Genomic Conservation in Phage Whytu and Other Small Phages

, 2020
Arthrobacter globiformis phage Whytu was isolated from a California soil sample; sequencing revealed one of the smallest Actinobacteriophage genomes. Using comparative genomics, we compared Whytu to other Actinobacteriophages that infect different hosts.

Phage evolution: New worlds of genomic diversity [PDF]

Current Biology, 2003
A recent comparative survey of genomes of phages infecting mycobacteria reveals a vast combinatorial network of gene rearrangements and may provide general models for pattern and process in genome evolution.
