title: Genomic characterization of a novel bacteriophage, VEN infecting Vibrio alginolyticus
design: The bacteriophage’s genomic DNA was extracted according to the phenol-chloroform protocol and stored in sterile Eppendorf tubes in -20 oC until sequenced. The Genome of the VEN bacteriophage was sequenced using the Genome Sequencer GS Junior System (Roche Diagnostic). Shotgun sequencing was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions using 5 µg of the bacteriophage genomic DNA.
