## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a new bacteriophage, Godfather, isolated from a soil sample in Texas.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the complete genome sequence of the bacteriophage Godfather and its comparison to similar phages.

## Key findings

- The genome of bacteriophage Godfather is 17,452 base pairs long and contains 24 protein-coding genes.
- The genome shares over 99% nucleotide sequence identity with cluster EE microbacteriophages Scamander, Danno, Kojax4, and Burgy.

## Abstract

Microbacteriophage Godfather was collected from a soil sample in Stephenville, Texas. The 17,452-bp double-stranded genome contains 24 protein-coding genes. The genome shares >99% nucleotide sequence identity with cluster EE microbacteriophages Scamander, Danno, Kojax4, and Burgy.
