Abstract
|
|
|
A DNA sequence for the genome of bacteriophage phi X174 of approximately 5,375
nucleotides has been determined using the rapid and simple 'plus and minus'
method. The sequence identifies many of the features responsible for the
production of the proteins of the nine known genes of the organism, including
initiation and termination sites for the proteins and RNAs. Two pairs of genes
are coded by the same region of DNA using different reading frames.
