Abstract excerpt
The rapid disruption of the Escherichia coli nucleoid after T4 infection requires the activity of the phage-encoded ndd gene. We have genetically identified the sequence encoding ndd. Determination of the sequence of a 2.5-kb segment including ndd closed the last significant gap in the sequence of the T4 genome. This analysis was performed on PCR-amplified fragments that were purified by gel-exclusion...
