Horizontal gene transfer and the evolution of microvirid coliphage genomes.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 2006

Rokyta D R, Burch C L, Caudle S B, Wichman H A

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage genomic evolution has been largely characterized by rampant, promiscuous horizontal gene transfer involving both homologous and nonhomologous source DNA. This pattern has emerged through study of the tailed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) phages and is based upon a sparse sampling of the enormous diversity of these phages. The single-stranded DNA phages of the family Microviridae, including phiX174,...
