Abstract

Mycobacteriophage ShedlockHolmes is a newly isolated phage infecting Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155. It has a 61,081-bp genome containing 99 predicted protein-coding genes and one tRNA gene. ShedlockHolmes is closely related to mycobacteriophages Pixie, Keshu, and MacnCheese and is a new member of subcluster K3.
