TL;DR: In his book Biochemistry Lehninger (1970) illustrated the complexity of the genetic material by devoting a full page to closely spaced arrays of A, G, C, and T letters, calling this “an imaginary base sequence for the chromosome of bacteriophage oX174" and pointing out that this is one of the smallest DNA genomes known.
Abstract: In his book Biochemistry Lehninger (1970) illustrated the complexity of the genetic material by devoting a full page to closely spaced arrays of A, G, C, and T letters, calling this “an imaginary base sequence for the chromosome of bacteriophage oX174” and pointing out that this is one of the smallest DNA genomes known. There has been a remarkable revolution in DNA sequencing technology since that page was composed. Not only has the real nucleotide sequence of oX174 been published (Sanger et al., 1977 a), but also DNA sequences of bacteriophages G4 (Godson et al., 1978) and fd (Schaller et al., 1978) and an animal virus, SV40 (Reddy et al., 1978a; Fiers et al., 1978) are completed, or nearly so, and a remarkable array of DNA sequences from various sources is fast accumulating.
