DoobyDoo has a siphoviral morphology and a 66,343 bp genome with a GC content of 58.3%. The genome contains 97 protein coding genes, including an esterase gene that is distributed broadly across actinobacteriophages. ## Linked entities - **Species:** Gordonia rubripertincta (taxon 36822) ## Full-text entities - **Species:** Gordonia rubripertincta (species) [taxon 36822], Bacteriophage sp.
