T4-like bacteriophages have been explored for phage therapy and are model organisms for phage genomics and evolution. Here, we describe the sequencing of 11 T4-like phages. We found a high nucleotide similarity among the T4, RB55, and RB59; RB32 and RB33; and RB3, RB5, RB6, RB7, RB9, and RB10 phages.
类T4噬菌体已被用于噬菌体治疗研究,并且是噬菌体基因组学和进化的模式生物。在此,我们描述了11种类T4噬菌体的测序情况。我们发现T4、RB55和RB59;RB32和RB33;以及RB3、RB5、RB6、RB7、RB9和RB10噬菌体之间存在高度的核苷酸相似性。
