## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome sequence of a new bacteriophage called Rummer that infects Mycobacterium smegmatis.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed genome analysis and classifies the phage into subcluster A3 based on gene content.

## Key findings

- Rummer has a 50,908 base pair genome with 89 predicted protein-coding genes and three tRNAs.
- The phage is classified into subcluster A3 based on gene content similarity to other actinobacteriophages.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage Rummer is a siphovirus morphology actinophage isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis. Rummer has a 50,908 base pair genome encoding 89 predicted protein-coding genes and three tRNAs. Based on gene content similarity to sequenced actinobacteriophages, Rummer is assigned to phage subcluster A3.
