## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced and described a new bacteriophage, RedRaider, that infects the bacterium Gordonia terrae.

## Contribution

The paper presents the complete genome sequence and annotation of a novel phage, RedRaider, and identifies key genomic features.

## Key findings

- RedRaider's genome has features typical of cluster CR3 phages.
- The phage encodes putative lysin A in two gene products and lysin B in the left arm of the genome.

## Abstract

We isolated and annotated a novel bacteriophage, RedRaider, on
Gordonia terrae
3612. Annotation revealed genome features typical of cluster CR3 phages with the putative lysin A function encoded in two gene products, a protease C39 domain and a glycosyl hydrolase domain, and lysin B encoded distally in the left arm of the genome.
