Inference of the Life Cycle of Environmental Phages from Genomic Signature Distances to Their Hosts

Inference of the Life Cycle of Environmental Phages from Genomic Signature Distances to Their Hosts

The environmental impact of uncultured phages is shaped by their preferred life cycle (lytic or lysogenic). However, our ability to predict it is very limited. We aimed to discriminate between lytic and lysogenic phages by comparing the similarity of their genomic signatures to those of their hosts,...
