Abstract

Here, we report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new Pacmanvirus-related isolate, Tornadovirus japonicus, from the Tamagawa River in Japan. This icosahedral virus has a genome of approximately 380 kb and 465 open reading frames, including two tRNA genes. The name "tornado"is based on its morphological features revealed by transmission electron microscopy analysis.
