Abstract

JangDynasty is a bacteriophage that infects Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155. It has a genome length of 70,883 bp, with 124 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), 42 of which have known functions. JangDynasty belongs to cluster O, and like other cluster O phages, it is a siphovirus with a prolate capsid.
