Genomes of a Novel Group of Phages That Use Alternative Genetic Code Found in Human Gut Viromes

Metagenomics provides detection of phage genome sequences in various microbial communities. However, the use of alternative genetic codes by some phages precludes the correct analysis of their genomes. In this study, the unusual phage genome (phAss-1, 135,976 bp) was found after the de novo assembly...
