Show abstract
The Gardnerella genus includes a complex sub-taxonomy of bacterial species and subgroups which have been implicated in bacterial vaginosis. We analyzed G. leopoldii, G. swidsinski, G. piotii, and G. vaginalis genomes available in public databases and predicted proviral sequences using Cenote-Taker3. We clustered 266 prophage sequences into 140 viral genera level groupings that encode four distinct gene clusters and 19 different lysin proteins. Analysis of the bacterial and prophage sequence phylogenies reveals that while there were no specific prophage sequence lineages that infected each bacterial host, there is clustering of the prophage sequences by bacterial species within the Gardnerella genus.

"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.
