Phage integrases are enzymes that mediate unidirectional site-specific recombination
between two DNA recognition sequences, the phage attachment site, attP, and the bacterial …

Within the last 25 years, bacteriophage integrases have rapidly risen to prominence as
genetic tools for a wide range of applications from basic cloning to genome engineering …

Genome architecture has proven to be critical in determining gene regulation across almost
all domains of life. While many of the key components and mechanisms of eukaryotic …

The study of mycobacteriophages provides insights into viral diversity and evolution, as well

Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes one in four avoidable deaths in the developing world …

Streptomycetes are antibiotic‐producing filamentous microorganisms that have a mycelial
life style. In many ways streptomycetes are the odd ones out in terms of cell division. While …

Mycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts including Mycobacterium
smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The first mycobacteriophages were isolated in …

in living cells. While the role of lysine acetylation in regulating primary metabolism is well …

This chapter starts with Allan Campbell's insightful proposal for the pathway by which the
chromosome of bacteriophage λ is integrated into and excised from the chromosome of its …

Mycobacteriophage Bxb1 is a temperate phage of Mycobacterium smegmatis. The
