The Caudovirales are an order of viruses, better known as the tailed bacteriophages. Under the Baltimore classification scheme, the Caudovirales are group I viruses as they have double stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes, which can be anywhere from 18 kbp to 500 kbp in length. The virus particles have a distinct shape; each virion has an Icosohedral head that contains the genome, which is attached to a tail by a connector. The order encompasses a wide range of viruses, many of which have the same or similar genes; however the nucleotide sequence can vary quite significantly, even amongst the same genus....
