Abstract excerpt
Jumbo phages are characterized by their remarkably large-sized genome and unique life cycles. Jumbo phages belonging to Chimalliviridae family protect the replicating phage DNA from host immune systems like CRISPR-Cas and restriction-modification system through a phage nucleus structure. Several recent studies have provided new insights into jumbo phage infection biology, but the pan-genome diversity of jumbo...
