Kayla,
I think everything looks as I would expect. Do you think it is all correct now?

Kayla,
Would you do dilutions of D29 and not just a single spot?

You streak from P1FF streak from stock #2 looks like smeg. When you see 4 day colonies, are they dry and wrinkled? (as in, not smooth and glistening?)

Be careful! The auto-annotation predicts forward strand proteins in the middle of the genome. The proteins in the reverse strand are better supported.

At this time (8-23-18 ), we felt it prudent to call the DNA binding proteins around the integrases "helix-turn-helix DNA binding proteins", even thought 2 of them are hitting Lambda's CI. (Genome used in this evaluation are Nandita and Ryan).

Corgi gp19 and 20 HHPred hit the same domain of the crystal structure of Mycobacteriophage Pukovinik (gp37) excise. Call this a helix-turn-helix DNA binding protein because that is the domain that it hits.

The 4 genes between capsid and tape measure (Corgi gp 8-11) include (in this order) head-to-tail adaptor, head-to-tail stopper, major tail, hypothetical protein. the hypothetical protein in these genomes hits HK97 gp10. Bob Duda of the Hendrix lab (who extensively has studied the structural genes of HK97) agrees the function of this gene, though structural, is unknown.

No tail assembly chaperones have been found….yet.

The cpapsid is fused to the capsid maturation protease (gp7 in Corgi).
