| Discovery Notes | The soil was collected from a small forested area behind Stratton Hall on the UW-River Falls campus. It was cloudy, a little chilly, and had been raining.The soil was damp and packed. |
| Naming Notes | Named after the world-carrying space turtle in the Discworld books by Sir Terry Pratchett. |
| Sequencing Information |
| Sequencing Complete? | Yes |
| Date Sequencing Completed | Jan 27, 2020 |
| Sequencing Facility | Pittsburgh Bacteriophage Institute |
| Shotgun Sequencing Method | Illumina Sequencing |
| Approximate Shotgun Coverage | 575 |
| Genome length (bp) | 194200 |
| Character of genome ends | Direct Terminal Repeat |
| Direct Terminal Repeat Length | 17312 bp |
| End Determination Notes | At first, we thought Cluster FC phages had no defined ends and were circularly permuted, but as we sequenced more, it became clear that the genomes had a region of double coverage, which is characteristic of a direct terminal repeat. As with some other phages, the right end of the terminal repeat is well-defined, while the left end is less clear. |
