Terminal Nucleotide Sequences of DNA from Temperate Coliphages

Nature New Biology volume 243, pages 134–139 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

Nucleotide sequences of the cohesive of DNA from five lambdoid phages are identical. In contrast, DNAs from the non-lambdoid phages 186, P2, and 299; Which also cohere with each other, show some differences in their terminal sequences, and these sequences, unlike those of the lambdoid DNAs, contain no apparent axis of rotational symmetry.
