Spontaneous Deletion of an "ORFanage" Region Facilitates Host Adaptation in a "Photosynthetic" Cyanophage.
Viruses have been suggested to be the largest source of genetic diversity on Earth. Genome sequencing and metagenomic surveys reveal that novel genes with unknown functions are abundant in viral genomes. Yet few observations exist for the processes and frequency by which these genes are gained and l...
