Show abstract
Bacteriophage that infect Escherichia coli are relatively easily isolated, with greater than 600 coliphage genomes sequenced to date. Despite this there is still much to be discovered about the diversity of coliphage genomes. Within this study we isolated a coliphage from cattle slurry collected from a farm in rural England. Transmission electron microscopy identified the phage as member of the Siphoviridae family. Phylogenetic analysis and comparative genomics further placed it within the subfamily Tunavirinae and forms part of a new genus. Characterisation of the lytic properties reveals that it is rapidly able to lyse its host when infected at high multiplicity of infection, but not at low multiplicity of infection.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
