Discovery NotesThe soil was clumpy when it was obtained from a grassy area near bushes away from walking areas. The soil was dark and slightly moist.
Naming NotesThis was my 5th soil sample additionally, I adopted the phage from a classmate. For me the most important part of science can at times to catastrophic, and I had to learn this lesson. I had 4 failures prior to this phage. I fused my name "Percyval" with "catastrophe" to make "Percastrophe".
Sequencing Information
Sequencing Complete?Yes
Date Sequencing CompletedAug 2, 2017
Sequencing FacilityUniversity of North Texas
Shotgun Sequencing MethodIllumina Sequencing
Genome length (bp)45999
Character of genome endsUnknown
Direct Terminal Repeat Length264 bp
End Determination NotesWhile one end of the terminal repeat was obvious in the sequencing reads for this project, the other end was far less so. A buildup of reads was observed at a position that matched the right side of the terminal repeat in other similar phages, so that was selected as the right end of the terminal repeat.
