## TL;DR

This paper describes the genome of a new Gordonia phage, Conley, found in a creek and classified into the DJ cluster.

## Contribution

The paper presents the genome sequence and annotation of a newly discovered siphovirus phage, Gordonia phage Conley.

## Key findings

- The phage Conley has a 60,078bp genome with 90 predicted protein-coding genes.
- All genes are transcribed in the same direction, a notable genomic feature.
- It was classified into genetic cluster DJ based on gene content similarity.

## Abstract

We report the discovery of Gordonia phage Conley, a siphovirus isolated from Cullowhee Creek in the Fall of 2022. The 60,078bp genome contains 90 predicted protein-coding genes all transcribed in the same direction and has been assigned to genetic cluster DJ based on gene content similarity.
