Fig. 1: Genome organization of sgls discovered in this study.
From: Rapid de novo evolution of lysis genes in single-stranded RNA phages
The genome organization of leviviruses with functional sgls are shown and the three core genes mat, coat, and rep are colored as orange, black, and green, respectively. The length of complete or partial genome is represented by a horizontal black bar above the genes with each perpendicular interval equal to 1 kb. The sgls (blue) are shown relative to the reading frames of other genes (relative reading frames are represented by different horizontal levels). Beihai9 has two different sgls in the genome and both are embedded within the rep gene.
