## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequences of two mycobacteriophages, JayJay and Rinkes, isolated from a specific type of bacteria.

## Contribution

The study provides new complete genome sequences for two previously uncharacterized mycobacteriophages.

## Key findings

- JayJay has a genome with 234 putative genes, 32 tRNAs, and 1 tmRNA.
- Rinkes has a smaller genome with 93 putative genes.

## Abstract

The complete genome sequences were determined for two mycobacteriophages isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. JayJay, a myoviral bacteriophage from cluster C1, encodes 234 putative genes, 32 tRNAs, and 1 tmRNA. Rinkes, a siphoviral bacteriophage from cluster B9, harbors a smaller genome encoding 93 putative genes.

## Full-text entities

- **Species:** Bacteriophage sp. (species) [taxon 38018], Mycolicibacterium smegmatis MC2 155 (strain) [taxon 246196]
