Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Because biotechnological uses of bacteriophage gene products as alternatives to conventional antibiotics will require a thorough understanding of their genomic context, we sequenced and analyzed the genomes of four closely related phages isolated from Clostridium perfringens, an important agricultural and human pathogen. RESULTS: Phage whole-genome tetra-nucleotide signatures and proteomic tree...
