Like in other phage groups, variable genes are confined to specific regions in the genome.

N protein allows the expression of other phage genes by altering the transcription elongation process so as to prevent transcription termination.

I called up the Hellfire once more, as I had against the other phage, until my skin felt like it was about to fly apart.

The 2 oldest pre-epidemic isolates lack phage SE20 and harbour other phage encoded genes that are absent in the sequenced strain.

These elements suggest that DNA replication in brucellaphages differs from other phages, and might resemble that of bacterial chromosomes.

In order to understand the relationship of the PaMx25 genome with that of other phages, we employed several computational approaches.
