## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequences of three Porphyromonas gingivalis strains from cancer and healthy individuals in China.

## Contribution

The study provides new complete genome sequences of P. gingivalis strains from both cancer and healthy individuals.

## Key findings

- The genome size of LyEC01 was 2,408,275 bp.
- The genome sizes of LyG-1 and LyG-2 were 2,411,440 and 2,411,481 bp, respectively.

## Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequences of three Porphyromonas gingivalis, one from patient with esophageal cancer (LyEC01), and the other two from periodontally healthy individuals (LyG-1 and LyG-2) in 2021 and 2023. The genome sizes of LyEC01, LyG-1, and LyG-2 were 2,408,275, 2,411,440, and 2,411,481 bp, respectively.
