Abstract

Bacteriophages, or more simply phages, are currently experiencing a renaissance in life science research for their roles in natural microbial communities, their potential use as antimicrobials, and biotechnological applications. In the modern era, one of the primary steps in phage characterization is obtaining the sequence of the complete genome; this information can be used to determine the relationship of the phage to known phages, predict phage lifestyle, and is a prerequisite for many downstream applications. This protocol describes methods for determining the complete sequence of a double-stranded DNA bacteriophage genome, including DNA extraction from a phage lysate, sending the DNA out to a sequencing service, assembly of the sequence raw reads, and completion of the genome sequence.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 30. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 April 2024.
All research outputs
#1,358,682
of 25,844,815 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#146
of 14,388 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,208
of 358,762 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#2
of 328 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,844,815 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,388 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 358,762 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 328 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
