Phamerator genome map comparison. This linear genome map includes two similar phages published in a similar orientation. Colored lines connecting the genomes indicate the level of nucleotide similarity from purple (low E-value, high percent identity) to red (high E-value, lower percent identity). Horizontal yellow bars inside gene product boxes indicate conserved domains and represent the length of that domain relative to the length of the gene. When the mouse is hovered over one of the yellow conserved domains, a popup box will appear describing that domain (e.g., tail assembly protein, indicated by a dotted outline). When the mouse is hovered over a pham label, a popup box will appear (indicated by a dotted outline) which identifies the clusters and phages that contain a protein in a pham. Using these features, researchers can quickly identify conserved domains in any protein and which other phages in the database contain a homologous protein
