Abstract

An algorithm to locate transcription terminators (V. Brendel and E. N. Trifonov, Nucleic Acids Res. 12:4411-4427, 1984) was applied to the genomes of bacteriophages phi x174 and G4. The proposed sites are similarly located in phiX and G4 and fit with transcript lengths previously observed in vivo and in vitro.
