| Sequencing Notes | This phage was originally sequenced in 2002 using Sanger sequencing. In 2022, it was resequenced by Illumina and the new sequence was found to have 12 differences from the original. After looking at the original's data, it's likely that those 12 differences were due to sequencing errors in the original sample rather than mutations acquired over time.
Therefore, the sequence of Che8 was updated in January 2023 here on PhagesDB as well as in GenBank to be the newer, correct sequence.
Gene numbers were maintained in the new annotation to match the previous annotations. |
