Abstract

Bacteriophage Wheezy, a lytic phage with siphoviral morphology isolated using the host Gordonia terrae 3612, has a genome of 67,021 base pairs and is 65.9% GC. The genome sequence of Wheezy aligns most closely with subcluster CR2 phages Tracker and NatB6. Annotation of the full-length genome sequence of Phage Wheezy revealed 92 protein-coding genes and no tRNA genes.
