Novel mycobacteriophages FireRed, MISSy, MPhalcon, Murica, Sassay, Terminus, Willez, YassJohnny, and Youngblood were isolated from soil samples on the host Mycobacterium smegmatis. Transmission electron microscopy revealed phage structures suggestive of the Siphoviridae family of phages. Phage genomes were sequenced and annotated, revealing that they belong to actinobacteriophage Cluster E. Here, we describe the features of these phage genomes and discuss their similarity to previously discovered cluster E phages.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
