Hyperpigmented melanistic lesions (HPMLs) are occasionally observed on the skin of smallmouth bass. A novel adomavirus is routinely present in this lesion type. The project here simply documents a complete genome of this virus to facilitate future molecular epidemiological investigations.
It is recommended to cite the accession numbers that are assigned to data submissions, e.g. the GenBank, WGS or SRA accession numbers. If individual BioProjects need to be referenced, state that "The data have been deposited with links to BioProject accession number PRJNA1115065 in the NCBI BioProject database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/)."
