Example sentences for: prophages

How can you use “prophages” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

YonO was also detected with significant E-values in searches initiated with other eukaryotic RDRP modules, e.g., that of Schizosaccharomyces pombe . Reciprocal searches started with the YonO protein sequence retrieved closely related proteins encoded by prophages in the genome of Clostridium acetobutylicum (CAC1139) and Clostridium perfringens (CPE1103).
The sporadic distribution of this family among phylogenetically distant bacteria, along with its presence in several prophages, suggests that, like the RecT/Redβ and ERF superfamilies, at least the bacterial RAD52-proteins might be of predominantly phage origin.
On the basis of sequence annotations, we have removed genes related to IS and prophages from the different classes of genes defined using the method described below.
Such phyletic patterns, together with the presence of members of this family in genomes of phages and prophages, suggests that lateral transfer was involved in the dissemination of some of these orthologous groups.
Thus, like the RecT/Redβ superfamily, the ERF family is likely to have emerged in the temperate phages, and was disseminated to the Borrelia circular plasmids and some bacterial genomes via prophages.
