Abstract excerpt
Antagonistic interactions between bacteriophage (phage) and its bacterial host drives the continual selection for resistance and counter-defence. To date, much remains unknown about the genomic evolution that occurs as part of the underlying mechanisms. Such is the case for the marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus and viruses (cyanophages) that infect them. Here, we monitored host and phage abundances, alongside...
