Marvin genes 7 to 11 and their homologues. Marvin genes 7 to 11 form a group of genes that are related to each other (Pham1566) and which are related to other similar groups in other mycobacteriophages. (A) Alignment of the Marvin genome with those of Che8 (subcluster F1) and SkiPole (subcluster A1) illustrates the nucleotide sequence similarities between the genomes. Genome representations are made in Phamerator, and the gene annotations are as described for Fig. 3. Segments of nucleotide sequence similarity are shown by colored regions between pairs of genomes and spectrum colored, with violet being the most similar and red the most dissimilar. (B) Although gp7 to gp11 are related at the amino acid sequence level, they are not related at the DNA sequence level as shown by a dot plot of genes 7 to 11 against themselves.
