Draft genome of strain YB955, prophage-cured derivative of strain 168.

We report the genome sequence of strain YB955, a prophage-cured strain used as a model in DNA repair, bacterial physiology, and mutagenesis studies. The assembled and annotated draft genome contains 4,031 coding genes, 5 rRNAs, and 73 tRNAs. Compared to 168, YB955 has a 134,402 bp deletion.

Complete genome sequences of cluster F1 and cluster B1 phages Karhdo and Basato.

We present the complete genome sequences of phages Karhdo and Basato, isolated in Clark County, Nevada. The phages were isolated and annotated by students enrolled in undergraduate research courses over two semesters at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Complete genome sequences of cluster G1 and cluster K4 phages omnicritical and Barkley26.

We present the complete genome sequence of two Actinobacteriophages, OmniCritical and Barkley26, isolated in Clark County, NV. Over two semesters, The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) students isolated and purified phages and manually annotated the genomes. The courses follow the HHMI Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Sciences (SEA-PHAGES) curricula.

Complete Genome Sequences of Cluster A6 and Cluster G1 Mycobacterium smegmatis Phages Hoot and Jolene.

We present the complete genome sequences of Mycobacterium smegmatis phages Hoot and Jolene, isolated in Las Vegas, NV. The phages were isolated and annotated by students enrolled in an undergraduate research course at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Hoot is a cluster A6 mycobacteriophage, while Jolene is in cluster G1.

Complete Genome Sequences of Cluster P1 and Cluster C1 Mycobacterium smegmatis Phages Jung and Ronan.

We present the complete genome sequences of phages Jung and Ronan, isolated from soil in Las Vegas, Nevada. The phages were isolated and annotated by students enrolled in a course for undergraduate research experience (CURE). Jung is a cluster P1 mycobacteriophage, while Ronan is in cluster C1.
