# Genome sequence and annotation of Arthrobacter globiformis phage Ruchi (AS1) isolated from soil in Lumpkin County, Georgia

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence and annotation of a new soil-isolated bacteriophage called Ruchi, which infects Arthrobacter globiformis.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed genome analysis of a newly discovered phage and its evolutionary relationship to another phage in the same subcluster.

## Key findings

- Ruchi has a 38,571 bp genome with 67.7% GC content.
- The genome contains 64 predicted reading frames and no tRNA genes.
- Ruchi is evolutionarily related to the AS1 phage Basilisk.

## Abstract

Ruchi, a temperate, AS1 subcluster bacteriophage isolated in Lumpkin County, Georgia using host Arthrobacter globiformis, possesses a genome of 38,571 bp and 67.7% GC. Annotation of this virus revealed 64 predicted reading frames, no predicted tRNA genes, and a close evolutionary relationship to AS1 phage Basilisk.
