## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a bacteriophage called Powelldog, isolated from soil and found to have a unique protein structure.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new genome sequence with a unique putative major capsid protease fusion protein.

## Key findings

- The Powelldog genome is 55,541 base pairs long.
- It contains 91 putative protein-coding genes, all transcribed in one direction.
- The genome encodes a unique putative major capsid protease fusion protein.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage Powelldog, assigned to cluster AW, was isolated from dog park soil in Charlotte, NC, using the bacterial host
Arthobacter globiformis
NRRL B-2880. The genome is 55541 bps, containing 91 putative protein-coding genes. All genes are transcribed unidirectionally and the genome, interestingly, encodes a putative major capsid protease fusion protein.
