Abstract

Jane and Sneeze are newly isolated phages of Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 from Hillsborough, NJ, and Palo Verde, Costa Rica, respectively. Both are cluster G, subcluster G1 mycobacteriophages. Notable nucleotide differences exist between genomes in the right half, including the presence of mycobacteriophage mobile element 1 (MPME1) in Jane.
