Abstract The Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) of eukaryotes (proposed
order “Megavirales”) comprise an expansive group of eukaryotic viruses that consists of the …

Bacteriophages are the most abundant biological entities in the biosphere, and this dynamic
and old population is, not surprisingly, highly diverse genetically. Relative to bacterial …

The bacteriophage population is large, dynamic, ancient, and genetically diverse. Limited
genomic information shows that phage genomes are mosaic, and the genetic architecture of …

Temperate phages are common, and prophages are abundant residents of sequenced
bacterial genomes. Mycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts …

The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are a monophyletic group of diverse
eukaryotic viruses that reproduce primarily in the cytoplasm of the infected cells and include …

Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging pathogen that is often refractory to antibiotic
control. Treatment is further complicated by considerable variation among clinical isolates in …

Bacteriophages are large and diverse components of the biosphere, and many phages are
temperate. Upon infection, temperate phages can establish lysogeny in which a prophage is …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for human tuberculosis, has a
genome encoding a remarkably high number of toxin-antitoxin systems of largely unknown …

The presence of tRNA genes in bacteriophages has been explained on the basis of codon
usage (tRNA genes are retained in the phage genome if they correspond to codons more …

Advances in genome sequencing have produced hundreds of thousands of bacterial
genome sequences, many of which have integrated prophages derived from temperate …
