Mycobacteriophage Zenon is a newly isolated phage from a soil sample collected at a farm in Maine, using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc<sup>2</sup>155 as a host. Zenon is one of five Cluster R phages. Cluster R phages display a high degree of similarity to each other (≥98% nucleotide sequence identity). A complete annotation of Zenon and its relationship to Cluster R are presented.
