Some Cluster A phages (see Backyardigan gp25 for an example https://phagesdb.org/genes/Backyardigan_CDS_25/) have a large overlap for the start of the tape measure protein with the previous gene. The overlapping start site is conserved and includes all coding potential. Some older annotations call the shorter start, but per SMART the large overlap start is the best call. |
