Based on gene content similarity, one phage is assigned to actinobacteriphage cluster CF, one to cluster CR, two to cluster CG, and one that cannot be assigned to any existing cluster. The latter encodes a five-gene thymine hypermodification system. ## Full-text entities - **Chemicals:** thymine (MESH:D013941) --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11955845
