Although the group annotating the Bibwit genome has not seen other supporting data, there is synteny with the tail assembly chaperones (genes 31 and 32) annotated in Gordonia phage Sitar. I do not see that a frameshift has been identified for Sitar_32. Should we propose a frameshift or hold off and wait for other evidence that may be pending for Sitar?

Hi. My supporting data is: Sitar_31 has a Pfam hit to TAC (90.6%/40% coverage). It is in the right location for a TAC. The G protein most typically hits homologs (vs T). I could not find the slippery sequence when I checked this genome. Could it be a +1 at position 24240, 24242? |
