- Abstract
Certainly, this area of phage genomics requires further development since there are phages with extended genomes using alternative genetic code for stopping codons. Some of these genomes have a gene synteny that is different from most known phages; in some genomes, alternative genetic code is used. In addition, it should be noted that the phage community is a dynamic system and genetic information is constantly exchanged both between phages and their hosts and between different phages, which is the main driving force of their evolution. This is due to the lack of standard guidelines for the NGS phage genomes data submission; therefore, even closely related genomes are often submitted with different orientations and/or starting points.
