Figure 1

Location of the T4 origins of replication . The linear 169 kb T4 genome is circularly permuted and has no defined telomeres, so it is depicted in this diagram as a circle. The positions of major T4 origins are indicated with green lollypops. The positions of major T4 open reading frames (>100 amino acids) are indicated with arrows and are color coded to indicate the timing of transcription: blue, early; yellow, middle; and red, late transcripts [5, 19]. Three relevant smaller open reading frames are also included: soc near oriA; rI.-1 near oriC; and repEA near oriE.
