Evolutionary genomics of APSE: a tailed phage that lysogenically converts the bacterium Hamiltonella defensa into a heritable protective symbiont of aphids

BACKGROUND: Most phages infect free-living bacteria but a few have been identified that infect heritable symbionts of insects or other eukaryotes.
