DNA Primase

The DNA primase of the cluster A phages is split into two overlapping reading frames. The upstream portion of the gene is frequently missed by Glimmer and Genemark. We are not sure what happens within the cell during the infection to generate the correct full length primase, so for now, we add both parts to the annotations with a large overlap. |

Thanks, Welkin. I was just encountering this in our A4 phage, and was wondering "what's up with that?!" I haven't looked closely yet for any slippery sequences, but it's not another frameshift that we're seeing? Neat! |

Here is an example of where the overlapping primase gene should be added to a cluster A annotation. Power point slide by Chris Brey. |
