Abstract

The abundance of phages and their importance to evolution and to ecology provide an incentive to study them. The golden era for studying phages stretched from the 1920s through the late 1980s, when the relative simplicity of their replication cycle proved critical for learning fundamental biology, including identifying the hereditary role of DNA and uncovering the nature of the genetic code.
