prophage may spontaneously extract themselves from the host genome and enter the lytic cycle in a process called induction. This process, however, is not perfect and prophage may sometimes leave ...

Phage infection occurs via two alternate cycles, initiated by the injection of phage DNA or RNA into the host. In the lytic cycle, this is translated to produce phage proteins that hijack the host ...

There are three distinct DNA regions where Cro can bind and function as a genetic switch. This governs the entry of the phage into the lysogenic or lytic cycles. Lysogenic conversion involves the ...

However, in the lytic cycle, the cell is broken open following ... proteins which is formed leads to the degradation of the host DNA, maximizing in turn virion production. Throughout the next ...

Gammaherpesvirus latency is a programmed event with multiple epigenetic steps. During latency, the viral genome establishes a metastable epigenetic pattern of histone modifications and DNA ...

Generalized transduction occurs when random sections of host DNA are incorporated into bacteriophage during the lytic cycle in the process of making more bacteriophage particles, as shown in Figure 1.

Hiding their DNA genome inside the nucleus ... restored cell division in cells undergoing lytic replication. Importantly, reactivation of cell cycle progression coincided with a reduction in ...

that multiple virus-carrying capsids may squeeze their DNA payloads into a host cell simultaneously. This finding is significant because it helps explain why some viral infections follow a lytic ...

If the infecting phage is virulent, the infection follows a lytic cycle, or for temperate phages, a lysogenic cycle occurs. Scientists have developed non-personalized and personalized phage therapy ...
