4.3.19 Working on Our IRP
Rationale:
To further look into the presence and possible origin source of the NMT gene in NapoleonB by creating a phylogenetic tree.
Procedures:
- We looked at research articles regarding NMT related genes in bacteriophages and bacteria.
- We looked at other phages that had the NMT genes.
- We ran multiple sequence alignments and protein analysis on the found proteins to determine relations.
Conclusions/Next Steps:
We can conclude that there are other phages that do contain NMT related genes outside of the AM cluster. The next step will be to continue trying to assemble relations between NMT genes and where they came from.
