Prophage Provide a Safe Haven for Adaptive Exploration in Temperate Viruses.

Genetics - 1 May 2017

Wahl Lindi M, Pattenden Tyler

Abstract excerpt

Prophage sequences constitute a substantial fraction of the temperate virus gene pool. Although subject to mutational decay, prophage sequences can also be an important source of adaptive mutations for these viral populations. Here we develop a life-history model for temperate viruses, including both the virulent (lytic) and the temperate phases of the life cycle. We then examine the survival of mutations that...
