Duplicate of Marvin
After sequencing by Ion Torrent and assembly, the genome matched Marvin's 100%. Though this is a phage isolated by a high school student working at the University of Pittsburgh, and Marvin was found by Cabrini College, we did have Marvin in our labs at Pitt. Thus, the assumption is that this was a lab contaminant at Pitt.
