A species barrier between bacteriophages T2 and T4: exclusion, join-copy and join-cut-copy recombination and mutagenesis in the dCTPase genes.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1998

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage T2 alleles are excluded in crosses between T2 and T4 because of genetic isolation between these two virus species. The severity of exclusion varies in different genes, with gene 56, encoding an essential dCT(D)Pase/dUT(D)Pase of these phages, being most strongly affected. To investi...
