Abstract: Emiliania huxleyi virus 202 (EhV-202) is a member of the Coccolithoviridae , a group of viruses that infect the marine coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi . EhV-202 has a 160- to 180-nm-diameter icosahedral structure and a genome of approximately 407 kbp, consisting of 485 coding sequences (CDSs). Here we describe the genomic features of EhV-202, together with a draft genome sequence and its annotation, highlighting the homology and heterogeneity of this genome in comparison with the EhV-86 reference genome.
