Comparative analysis of prophage-like elements in Helicobacter sp. genomes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Prophages are regarded as one of the factors underlying bacterial virulence, genomic diversification, and fitness, and are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes. Information on Helicobacter sp. prophages remains scarce.

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2003 SUMMARY The majority of the bacterial genome sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database contain prophage sequences. Analysis of the prophages suggested that after being integrated into bacterial genomes, they undergo a complex decay process consisting of inactivating point mutations ...

Prophage Hunter: an integrative hunting tool for active prophages [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2019 Abstract Identifying active prophages is critical for studying coevolution of phage and bacteria, investigating phage physiology and biochemistry, and engineering designer phages for diverse applications. We present Prophage Hunter, a tool aimed at hunting for active prophages from whole genome assembly of bacteria.

The Promise and Pitfalls of Prophages
, 2023 Abstract Phages dominate every ecosystem on the planet. While virulent phages sculpt the microbiome by killing their bacterial hosts, temperate phages provide unique growth advantages to their hosts through lysogenic conversion. Many prophages benefit their host, and prophages are responsible for genotypic and phenotypic differences ...
