# Complete genome sequence of Prevotella histicola T05-04

## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome sequence of Prevotella histicola T05-04, a bacterium linked to human oral cancer.

## Contribution

The novelty is the closed genome assembly of P. histicola T05-04 using Nanopore sequencing.

## Key findings

- The genome was previously fragmented into 109 contigs.
- Nanopore sequencing enabled the assembly of a complete, closed genome.
- This provides a more accurate reference for future studies on this bacterium.

## Abstract

Prevotella histicola is a non-spore forming, obligatory anaerobic, gram-negative coccobacillus bacterium originally isolated from human oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue. Previously, the available genome for P. histicola T05-04 consisted of 109 contigs. Here, we report the complete (closed) genome sequence for Prevotella histicola T05-04 assembled using Nanopore sequencing.
