Detailed Information for Phage Tortoise16
Discovery Information
Isolation HostMycobacterium smegmatis mc²155
Found ByThomas McNamara
Year Found2013
Location FoundHartford, CT USA
Finding InstitutionTrinity College
ProgramScience Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science
From enriched soil sample?Yes
Isolation TemperatureNot entered
GPS Coordinates41.749093 N, 72.691956 W Map
Discovery NotesThe sample was collected on the South side of the Trinity College Chapel, under a rose bush. It was taken from approximately 10 cm below the surface. The soil was dark brown, and slightly moist.
Naming NotesThis phage's name was inspired by the story of the Tortoise and the Hare.
Sequencing Information
Sequencing Complete?Yes
Date Sequencing CompletedDec 11, 2013
Sequencing FacilityPittsburgh Bacteriophage Institute
Shotgun Sequencing MethodIllumina Sequencing
Approximate Shotgun Coverage479
Genome length (bp)154584
Character of genome endsCircularly Permuted
GC Content64.8%
Sequencing NotesThis phage has a long run of Cs at its right end, similar to the genome of Bxb1. No sequencing technique has been able to reliably resolve the length of this stretch of nucleotides. From our best guess, it's about 30 Cs long, so we've included 30 Cs at the right end of the final sequence file.
