Table 4. Shared Genes in T4-like Phages.

Table modified from [22,104]. The T4 supergroup is divided into T-evens (e.g., T4 and RB69), pseudo T-evens (e.g., RB49 and 44RR2.8t), Schizo T-evens (e.g., Aeh1), and the Exo T-evens (e.g., S-PM2) [106,107]. For previously published T4 supergroup phages, only the size (amino acids) of selected predicted coding regions are presented using gene names according to T4 terminology. For P-SSM2 and P-SSM4, the size of each translated gene and the e-value of the best phage–T4-like (or microbe-related see below) e-value is presented; Where no e-value is given, these ORFs were assigned based upon size, domain homology, and synteny except where “Fig.6” is listed, which refers to designations made using tail fiber analyses summarized in Figure 6, and P-SSM2 or P-SSM4 indicates designation made through paralogy. A long dash indicates the lack of a particular gene

^aThe best e-value was microbe-related rather than related to T4-like phages

^bThe gene is split into two segments, often by an intron or homing endonuclease

^cThe gene is fused
