RESUMEN
We report the near-complete proviral genome sequence of a reticuloendotheliosis virus isolated and propagated from an endangered Attwater's prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) during a 2016-2017 outbreak at a captive breeding facility.
RESUMEN
We report the genome sequence of a nearly intact reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) insertion within a field strain of fowlpox virus from a Rio Grande wild turkey in Gillespie County, TX. The proviral REV genome comprises 7,943 bp and contains partial long terminal repeats.
RESUMEN
Tripl3t and Zeuska are siphoviral bacteriophages that were isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2 155 and contain double-stranded DNA genomes 53,565 bp and 53,598 bp in length, respectively. Tripl3t and Zeuska were annotated by students at Bluff Dale High School (Bluff Dale, TX) and Tolar High School (Tolar, TX) in community engagement with Tarleton State University.
RESUMEN
Actinobacteriophage Finny contains a circularly permuted 40,313-bp double-stranded DNA genome with 63 predicted protein-coding genes. Finny was directly isolated from a soil sample collected in New Braunfels, Texas, that was incubated with Microbacterium foliorum SEA B-24224. Finny is closely related to bacteriophages MCubed, Andromedas, ColaCorta, Eleri, and Sansa.
