double-stranded DNA genome is about 169 kbp long and encodes 289 proteins. The T4 genome is terminally redundant. Upon DNA replication, long multi-genome length concatemers are formed, perhaps by a rolling circle mechanism of replication. When packaged, the concatemer is cut at unspecific positions of the same length, leading to several genomes that represent circular permutations
