Abstract

Bacteriophage EasyJones is a myovirus infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155, with a genome length and gene content similar to those of phages grouped in subcluster C1. Interestingly, EasyJones contains a gene found in a subset of C1 genomes that is similar to the well-characterized immunity repressor of subcluster A1 mycobacteriophage Bxb1.
