| bacteriophage b103: complete dna sequence of its genome and relationship to other bacillus phages. | the genome of bacillus subtilis bacteriophage b103 consists of double-stranded linear dna 18,630 bp long. the dna was sequenced, and the sequence was compared with dna sequences of closely related phages, namely the members of the phage phi29 family. among them, phage nf was shown to be the most closely related to b103. comparisons of several open reading frames (orfs) among the family members helped to identify genes 1 and 5. a cluster of orfs between genes 16 and 17 contains two orfs with part ... | 1997 | 9358052 |
