DNA Day 23
17 April 2019 ✷ More Independent Research
Rationale: The trends in the percent GC of the genes were analyzed and justification was sought out.
Procedure
- Gene 97 was blasted again to see what bacteria CDD matched it with
- Gene 97 hit with stapholococcus virus psi12
- articles found by the group noted that GC content was lower in Staphylococcus
- an abstract was written
- gene 62 was looked at, but it hit with a high GC bacteria
- an abstract was completed
Results
the abstract
Conclusion
Having a gene that is shared with phages of other clusters and is similar to a virus with a lower CG supports the idea that horizontal gene transfer could be responsible for the low GC content associated with AM phages.
