title: Comparative genomic analysis of 18 Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophages.
abstract: A genomic analysis of 18 P. aeruginosa phages, including nine newly sequenced DNA genomes, indicates a tremendous reservoir of proteome diversity, with 55% of open reading frames (ORFs) being novel. Comparative sequence analysis and ORF map organization revealed that most of the phages analyzed displayed little relationship to each other.
