Both phages are assigned to actinobacteriophage subcluster AS3 based on gene content. Although these phages exhibit conserved genomic content characteristics of the AS3 subcluster, there are notable differences. In particular, phage Andrew gene 25 in the central region of the genome and genes 64, 65, and 66 near the end of the genome lack homologs in cluster AS3 or in the actinobacteriophage database more broadly.PMID:42899307 | PMC:PMC13679992 | DOI:10.17912/micropub.biology.002367
