This web page (the "Phage Page") is a reference site for bacteriophage resources, including databases, taxonomy, images, interest groups and other relevant web sites. I am especially interested in maintaining current links to Everything T4 and to related large, dsDNA Myoviridae from diverse environments, infecting a variety of hosts. All images and underlined text should be linked. Your input is appreciated; please forward any suggested additions and revisions to the author.

 

Everything T4

T4 Genomics at

·       Complete 168,903 bp genome, GenBank accession AF158101 (updated 3/29/03)

·       Genome viewer, entry NC_000866 (updated 3/29/03)

·       FastA and flatfile formats of genes and proteins (updated 3/29/03)

·       Bacteriophage T4 Genome Microbiol Mol Biol Rev. 67:86-156 (3/2003; subscription needed until 3/2004)

T4 & T4-type Phage Genomics World-Wide

·       T4 Codon usage table: The codon usage table here uses the 274 CDS's of GenBank file AF158101

·       T4 Codon usage table in GCG format: This table also uses the 274 CDS's of GenBank file AF158101

o      Yasukazu Nakamura's codon usage tables: The source Tables generated will use all CDS's in GenBank, even multiple entries (caution!) of the same CDS. T4 is retrieved using "coliphage T4".

·       T. Kunisawa's T4 FastA sequence files (not recently updated)

·       Text files that will open directly or download depending on your browser configuration

·       T4 genome coordinate file Also see: Miller, E.S., E. Kutter, G. Mosig, T. Kunisawa, F. Arisaka and W. Rüger. 2003. Bacteriophage T4 genome. Microbiol Mol Biol Rev. 67:86-156.

·       Click here for a Tab-delimited file of the T4 CDS table. Useful for spreadsheet programs

·       tRNA database for T4 tRNA properties Use "T4" in organism search.

·       Genomes of T4-type Phages: A growing compilation of genome sequences for relatives of bacteriophage T4

Viral COG (VOG) - clusters of related viral proteins

 

KVP40 Vibrio phage complete genome (a joint project between NC State Univ. & TIGR researchers)

·       Complete 244,835 bp genome, GenBank accession AY283928.1 (updated 8/29/03)

·       KVP40 genome graphics browser at NCBI

·       KVP40 genome browser at NCBI (FastA protein, DNA and RNA files)

·       KVP40 CDS Map (pdf)

·       KVP40 genome paper, J. Bacteriol. 2003 (pdf), or the PubMed Abstract

·       KVP40 genome browser at Tulane University (kindly formatted and displayed by Jim Nolan)

·       PubMed citations on vibriophage KVP40, infecting V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and others.
