Figure 1

Map of the genome of 0305φ8-36 showing distribution of features. The features are from ref. [1]. The scale is in kilobase pairs. Arrows – orfs color coded as: green – encodes virion protein, dark green – encodes high copy virion protein, grey – implied virion protein by sequence analysis only, blue – non-structural, and red – non structural in terminal repeat. The orf number for every 10th orf is given, with the exception of numbers that are not consecutive, for which each orf is labelled. Purple rectangles – tRNA-like sequences of unclear significance. Abbreviations include: TMP – tape measure protein; thy. kinase – thymidine kinase; mreB – mreB-like rod determination protein; hsdM – HsdM, Type I restriction-modification system methyltransferase subunit; nrd – ribonucleoside reductase; rec. exo – DNA repair exonuclease; UDG – uracil-DNA glycosylase. Italic indicates a tentative assignment. Noncoding regions greater than 40 bp are marked above the orfs in cyan if they do, or brown if they do not, contain a promoter candidate of the class described in Figure 6.
