AB  - A Prime number is a natural number larger than one which cannot 
  be expressed as the product of two smaller natural numbers. Prime numbers have 
  been shown to have significant applications in nature as shown by the life cycle 
  of cicadas of the genus <I>Magicicada</I>. Determining the exact distances between 
  prime numbers is an important unsolved problem in mathematics. This study investigated 
  the distances between prime numbers generated from nucleotides in a segment 
  of Bacteriophage T4 genome. The digits of Euler&#146;s number e and Pi &pi;, 
  two mathematical constants were found to be encoded spatially between the Viral 
  DNA helical segments comprised of prime numbers.
