Abstract excerpt
Sequencing of five late genes from 18 isolates of P2-like bacteriophages showed that these are at least 96% identical to the genes of phage P2. A maximum-parsimony phylogenetic analysis of these genes showed excess homoplasy of a magnitude three to six times higher than that expected. Examination of the distribution of the number of homoplasies at parsimoniously informative sites and incompatibility matrices of...
