Study Design

Methods: The genome of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 was sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing platforms. A hybrid genome assembly approach was used to construct an updated complete genome sequence for BB-12.

The genome of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 was sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing platforms. A hybrid genome assembly approach was used to construct an updated complete genome sequence for BB-12 containing 1,944,152 bp, with a G+C content of 60.5% and 1,615 genes.
