Identification of prophages in bacterial genomes by dinucleotide relative abundance difference. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
BACKGROUND: Prophages are integrated viral forms in bacterial genomes that have been found to contribute to interstrain genetic variability. Many virulence-associated genes are reported to be prophage encoded.
