Bacteriophage
sequence and evolution.
A collaboration between the laboratories of
Stephen C. Hardies and Philip Serwer.
Projects:
vibriophage - a collaboration with Dr. Curtis Suttle
and Andre Comeau.
at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver.
Goals:
-
To obtain the complete sequence of a vibriophage
infecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
-
To use this virus as a test system for development of bioinformatics
methods for the inference of function and evolutionary history of viral
sequences.

Stephen C. Hardies, André M. Comeau, Philip
Serwer and Curtis A. Suttle. 2003. The complete sequence of marine
bacteriophage VpV262 infecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus indicates
that an ancestral component of a T7 viral supergroup is widespread in the
marine environment. Virology
