Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages occupy a unique position in biology, representing an absolute majority of all organisms in the biosphere. Because their genomes are relatively small, elucidating the genetic diversity of the phage population, deciphering their origins, and identifying the evolutionary mechanisms that shape the population would seem readily feasible. And yet the pace of phage genome characterization has slowed over...
