Comments
Comments 75 lesions per 10^6 bases [PUB_0479]; occurs in bacteriophage DNA [PUB_0477]; dT is completely replaced by hm5dU in some bacteriophage at the nucleotide precursor level, dCMP ==> dUMP ==> hm5dUMP ==> hm5dUTP, by dCMP deaminase, dUMP hydroxymethylase (not present in M. genitalium), deoxynucleotide monophosphate kinase, and nucleotide diphosphate kinase [PUB_0478];
