The heterogenous and diverse population of prophages in Mycobacterium genomes

ABSTRACT Bacterial genomes commonly carry one or more integrated prophages, although prophage prevalence varies greatly in different bacterial genera and species. We have used the recently developed DEPhT software to discover prophages present in sequenced Mycobacterium genomes. Prophages are uneven...
