Phages that can perform either a lytic or a lysogenic mode of replication. J. Virol. A small segment of the mycobacteriophage Wildcat genome is shown encompassing genes 129142. The possibility that some of these small genes provide no selective benefit to the phage that carries them cannot be ruled out, but their generally orderly arrangement on the genome, with good translation start sequences argues against their being disorganized junk DNA.

A mutation downstream from the signal peptidase cleavage site affects cleavage but not membrane insertion of phage coat protein. Overall, phage genomes represent only about 15% of all viruses with known unique sequences and are thus vastly under-represented in the genome databases. Biol. Rather we suggest that non-homologous recombination occurs rampantly and indiscriminately across the genomes and stringent natural selection for the successful arrangement of the core genes counterselects any gene arrangement that disrupts that, while allowing much more promiscuous reassortments of the non-core genes; a thoroughly Darwinian view of phage evolution.

For example there are fewer than 50 each of completely sequenced RNA phages and ssDNA phages, and of the more than 500 sequenced dsDNA tailed phages, ~55% are morphologically members of the Siphoviridae with long flexible non-contractile tails; the remainder are Myoviridae with contractile tails and Podoviridae with short stubby tails (~25% and ~20% respectively).

Their dsDNAs are linear, cyclically permuted, and terminally redundant. Exchange events occurring in relatively recent evolutionary time can occasionally be seen through whole genome nucleotide comparisons (Fig. A large variation in capsid size can be observed among members of the Caudovirales, with diameters ranging from 45 to 185 nm, which is usually linked to genome size 18.

Phages are uniquely interconnected from an evolutionary perspective and undergo multiple events of genetic exchange in response to the selective pressure of their hosts, which drives their diversity. 162, 14411446 (2017). In the phage genomes, 5hmC is further glycosylated to 5ghmC and provides protection against cleavage by bacterial restriction endonucleases [1]. WebPhage genomes can consist of either DNA or RNA, and can contain as few as four genes or as many as several hundred. This selection for genome size plays an important role in bacteriophage evolution, providing a mechanism for DNA gain and loss that is independent of gene function.
