Abstract:
Bacteriophage DuncansLeg is a siphovirius isolated in 2021 from soil on the Coastal Carolina University campus in Conway, South Carolina, using the host Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. DuncansLeg has a 75,593-bp circular genome that contains 126 predicted protein-coding genes and 10 tRNA genes. DuncansLeg is assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster L3.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...
