Diversity and conservation of the genome architecture of phages infecting the Alphaproteobacteria

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages are viruses that are only capable of replicating inside a suitable bacterial host cell. Here, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of all 103 publicly available phage genomes that are known to infect members of the Alphaproteobacteria. We combined the sequence data and...
