This web page (the "Phage Page") is a reference site for bacteriophage resources, including databases, taxonomy, images, interest groups and other relevant web sites. I am especially interested in maintaining current links to Everything T4 and to related large, dsDNA Myoviridae from diverse environments, infecting a variety of hosts. All images and underlined text should be linked. Your input is appreciated; please forward any suggested additions and revisions to the author.

Everything T4

T4 Genomics at

• Complete 168,903 bp genome, GenBank accession AF158101 (updated 3/29/03)
• Genome viewer, entry NC_000866 (updated 3/29/03)
• FastA and flatfile formats of genes and proteins (updated 3/29/03)
• Bacteriophage T4 Genome Microbiol Mol Biol Rev. 67:86-156. PDF reprint

T4 & T4-type Phage Genomics World-Wide

• T4 Codon usage table: The codon usage table here uses the 274 CDS's of GenBank file AF158101
• T4 Codon usage table in GCG format: This table also uses the 274 CDS's of GenBank file AF158101
  • Yasukazu Nakamura's codon usage tables: The source Tables generated will use all CDS's in GenBank, even multiple entries (caution!) of the same CDS. T4 is retrieved using "coliphage T4".
• T. Kunisawa's T4 FastA sequence files (not recently updated)
• Text files that will open directly or download depending on your browser configuration

  T4 genome coordinate file Also see: Miller, E.S., E. Kutter, G. Mosig, T. Kunisawa, F. Arisaka and W. Rüger. 2003. Bacteriophage T4 genome. Microbiol Mol Biol Rev. 67:86-156.
