Bacteriophages as sources of small non-coding RNA molecules

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages play an essential role in the transferring of genes that contribute to the bacterial virulence and whose products are dangerous to human health. Interestingly, phages carrying virulence genes are mostly temperate and in contrast to lytic phages undergo both lysogenic and lytic cycles. Importantly, expression of the majority of phage genes and subsequent production of phage encoded proteins is...
