Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]
, 2016 The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.

Prophage Tracer: precisely tracing prophages in prokaryotic genomes using overlapping split-read alignment [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2021 Abstract The life cycle of temperate phages includes a lysogenic cycle stage when the phage integrates into the host genome and becomes a prophage. However, the identification of prophages that are highly divergent from known phages remains challenging.

Single-peptide DNA-dependent RNA polymerase homologous to multi-subunit RNA polymerase [PDF]
, 2017 Transcription in all living organisms is accomplished by multi-subunit RNA polymerases (msRNAPs). msRNAPs are highly conserved in evolution and invariably share a B400 kDa five-subunit catalytic core.
