Rationale: I’m continuing the process described in the previous post to try to discover new superclusters.

Tools: PhagesDB, Phamerator

Procedure:

1. Looked through DNA primase phams and looked through phams within the AK cluster.

2. Noticed a plateau in the pham cluster members similar to when looking at the pham cluster members of NapoleonB.

3. Recorded my findings.

Results: The clusters that contain  a lot of similar synteny and similar phams:

• AK
• EA7
• EJ

Conclusions and Future Work: Now that I’ve found a couple instances of what could be described as superclusters I need to find a numerical way or visual way to display my findings of these common syntenys and genes.
