Complete genomic nucleotide sequence and analysis of the temperate bacteriophage VWB

Virology. 2005 Jan 20;331(2):325-37. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2004.10.028.

Abstract

The entire double-stranded DNA genome of the Streptomyces venezuelae bacteriophage VWB was sequenced and analyzed. Its size is 49,220 bp with an overall molar G + C content of 71.2 mol%. Sixty-one potential open reading frames were identified and annotated using several complementary bioinformatics tools. Clusters of functionally related putative genes were defined, supporting a refined version of the modular theory of phage evolution.
