Genome Sequences of Mycobacteriophages Kerberos, Pomar16, and StarStuff
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the genome sequences of three closely related mycobacteriophages, Kerberos, Pomar16, and StarStuff, isolated at similar times but from geographically distinct regions. All three genomes are similar to those of other subcluster A2 phages, such as L5 and D29, are temperate, and have siphoviral virion morphologies.

Complete Genome Sequences of 63 Mycobacteriophages
Mycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts. The current collection of sequenced mycobacteriophages-all isolated on a single host strain, Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155, reveals substantial genetic diversity. The complete genome sequences of 63 newly isolated mycobacteriophages expand the resolution of our understanding of phage diversity.
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of 61 Mycobacteriophages
Mycobacteriophages-viruses of mycobacteria-provide insights into viral diversity and evolution as well as numerous tools for genetic dissection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Here we report the complete genome sequences of 61 mycobacteriophages newly isolated from environmental samples using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155 that expand our understanding of phage diversity.
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Nine Mycobacteriophages
Genome analyses of a large number of mycobacteriophages, bacterial viruses that infect members of the genus Mycobacterium, yielded novel enzymes and tools for the genetic manipulation of mycobacteria. We report here the complete genome sequences of nine mycobacteriophages, including a new singleton, isolated using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155 as a host strain.
متن کاملGenome Sequences of Five B1 Subcluster Mycobacteriophages
Mycobacteriophages infect members of the Mycobacterium genus in the phylum Actinobacteria and exhibit remarkable diversity. Genome analysis groups the thousands of known mycobacteriophages into clusters, of which the B1 subcluster is currently the third most populous. We report the complete genome sequences of five additional members of the B1 subcluster.
متن کاملTetranucleotide usage highlights genomic heterogeneity among mycobacteriophages
Background The genomic sequences of mycobacteriophages, phages infecting mycobacterial hosts, are diverse and mosaic. Mycobacteriophages often share little nucleotide similarity, but most of them have been grouped into lettered clusters and further into subclusters. Traditionally, mycobacteriophage genomes are analyzed based on sequence alignment or knowledge of gene content. However, these app...
