BlueFeather, the singleton that wasn't: Shared gene content analysis supports expansion of Arthrobacter phage Cluster FE.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages (phages) exhibit high genetic diversity, and the mosaic nature of the shared genetic pool makes quantifying phage relatedness a shifting target. Early parameters for clustering of related Mycobacteria and Arthrobacter phage genomes relied on nucleotide identity thresholds but, more recently, clustering of Gordonia and Microbacterium phages has been performed according to shared gene content....
