Comparative genomics of mutualistic viruses of Glyptapantelesparasitic wasps (2008)

Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fadrosh, Douglas W, Fuester, Roger W, ...

Abstract Background Polydnaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, have evolved as obligate endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Abstract Background Bracoviruses (BVs), a group of double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, are mutualistic endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Sequencing Bacillus anthracis Typing Phages Gamma and Cherry Reveals a Common Ancestry

Fouts, Derrick E., Rasko, David A., Cer, Regina Z., Jiang, Lingxia, Fedorova, Nadia B., Shvartsbeyn, Alla, ...

The genetic relatedness of the Bacillus anthracis typing phages Gamma and Cherry was determined by nucleotide sequencing and comparative analysis. The genomes of these two phages were identical...
