Abstract: Yersinia bacteriophage is a virus that hosts Yersinia bacteria, which not only affects the survival and evolution of the host bacteria, but also plays an important role in biomass cycling and energy flow. As of November 2022, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the United States has uploaded the complete genome sequences of 119 Yersinia bacteriophages. The genome size and genetic content of different Yersinia bacteriophages vary, and the similarity between the genomes is relatively low. This article reviews the basic genomic characteristics and gene functions of Yersinia bacteriophages, and studies the differences between the genomes of different species of Yersinia bacteriophages, in order to provide reference for understanding the functional differences and genetic evolution of Yersinia bacteriophage.
