Abstract: Lopsy is a siphovirus mycobacteriophage that is capable of lytic infection in Mycobacterium smegmatis. It is classified as a subcluster B1 mycobacteriophage and was isolated from soil in Estcourt, South Africa. The 68,542-bp double-stranded DNA genome is circularly permuted, has a GC content of 66.4%, and is predicted to contain 98 genes.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
