| Discovery Notes | Found in a home vegetable garden in Barrhaven, Ottawa. The sequence assembled into one primary contig of 68,619 bp with ~99% query coverage and ~99% identity to Mycobacterium phage PhatLouie. No additional high-quality contigs were produced, indicating that this assembly likely represents the complete genome of Fergusina. |
| Naming Notes | The name Fergusina was chosen after watching an Instagram reel that mentioned top 10 names for women in STEM. Fergusina was one of the names from that list and it spoke to me the most. |
