# Complete genome annotation of the cluster EC Microbacterium phage Nicole72 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome analysis of a new microbacteriophage, Nicole72, isolated in Pittsburgh.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome annotation of the newly identified phage Nicole72.

## Key findings

- Nicole72 has a 55,431 bp genome with 90 predicted protein-coding genes.
- The phage belongs to the siphovirus morphology and is closely related to the Megan phage with 81.5% nucleotide identity.

## Abstract

Nicole72, a microbacteriophage isolated from a flowerbed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has a 55,431 bp genome containing 90 predicted protein-coding genes and no transfer RNAs or transfer-messenger RNAs. Nicole72 has siphovirus morphology and is most closely related to the EC cluster microbacteriophage Megan where BLASTn indicates 81.5% identity, 86% query coverage.
