## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of the bacteriophage Amabiko, which infects a bacterium that causes potato scab.

## Contribution

The paper provides the complete genome sequence and analysis of a new lytic bacteriophage, Amabiko.

## Key findings

- Amabiko's genome is 131,414 bp with a 49.5% GC content.
- The genome includes 245 protein-coding genes, 45 tRNAs, and one tmRNA.
- Amabiko is closely related to the bacteriophage MindFlayer with 86.5% gene similarity.

## Abstract

Amabiko is a lytic subcluster BE2 bacteriophage that infects Streptomyces scabiei—a bacterium causing common scab in potatoes. Its 131,414 bp genome has a GC content of 49.5% and contains 245 putative protein-coding genes, 45 tRNAs, and one tmRNA. Amabiko is closely related to Streptomyces bacteriophage MindFlayer (gene content similarity: 86.5%).
