Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications

Silver, Simon, Baylor, Martha·2006·Microbe Magazine

Abstract

This new and excellent volume, together with Richard L. Calendar and Stephen T. Abedon (ed.) The Bacteriophages, edition 2, from Oxford University Press (ISBN no., 0195148509, published in December 2005 release date) may help to redress the loss of understanding of the role of phage studies in modern microbial science. It is difficult without current volumes to imagine how essential bacteriophage were in the invention of molecular biology as we know it, from the understanding that the gene consists of DNA to the discovery of messenger RNA and many essential aspects of the triplet genetic code. Thus, it is also surprisingly that Amazon.com does not list the classic books Bacteriophage T4 (1983) and The Molecular Biology of Bacteriophage T4 (1994), both co-edited by E. Kutter and published by ASM.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
