| Sequencing Notes | In the sequencing reads for this sample, about 60% showed that there is a deletion of 3880 bp from position 33116 to position 36995 (inclusive) in the genome. Though that variant with the deletion was the slight majority of the sample from which DNA was prepared for sequencing, we've reported the longer version (including the 3880 bp) as the wild type sequence of this phage, otherwise that deleted chunk would be lost. |
