Figure 9. The top 15 forward and reverse HFSs of indicated phage genomes.
T4-like phages IME08, IME09, IME-EC1, Iridovirus W150 have preferred termini, which have multi-termini throughout the entire genome. T7-like phage T3, IME-EC-16, IME-EC-17, IME-SF1, IME-SF2, E. faecalis phage IME-EF3,IME-EF4, S. aureus phage IME-SA1,IME-SA2 and IME-SA3, N4-like bacteriophages IME11, Escherichia coli phage IME-EC2, Enterococcus faecium phage IME-EFm1, and Serratia marcescens phage IME-SM1 have fixed termini. Only one forward and reverse HFS are located at the two ends of T3, IME-EC-16, IME-EC-17, IME-EF3, IME-EFm1, IME-SF1, IME-SF2, IME-SM1, one forward HFS at the left end of N4-like phage IME11, S. aureus phage IME-SA1, IME-SA2, IME-SA3, and one reverse HFS at the right end of IME-EC2, E. faecalis phage IME-EF4 (unique termini). N4-like phage IME11 has two right ends (multi-termini), S. aureus phage IME-SA1, IME-SA2, IME-SA3 have random right ends and E. faecalis phage IME-EF4 and IME-EC2 have random left end (Red: forward, Black: reverse, dot: preferred termini, plus sign: fixed but with unique differences in the forward and reverse termini, rhombus: unique termini at both ends).
