Summary Introduction
To review:
The temporal sequence of bacteriophage life-cycle.
Introduction:
The viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages. They serve as a very useful tool for genetic mapping and genetic modification of bacteria. This is due to a thorough understanding of their life cycle, which allows scientists to exploit the process in order to better understand bacterial genetics.
