Technical workflow enables and validates phage DNA modification discovery

This chain explains how the combination of phage DNA isolation, nucleoside profiling (HPLC/MS), and metagenomic sequencing workflows together make it possible to discover and confirm unusual phage DNA chemistries, grounding the higher-level claims about arabinosylation and DNA modification detected in cheese rinds.
