Abstract:
We isolated, annotated, and analyzed the genome of an environmental bacteriophage. BluerMoon was discovered from topsoil in Lubbock, Texas, as part of the Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Sciences (SEA-PHAGES) program. BluerMoon is a member of the DJ cluster according to the Actinobacteriophage database, PhagesDB (https://phagesdb.org).
