Draft Whole-Genome Sequences of Periodontal Pathobionts Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Tannerella forsythia Contain Phase-Variable Restriction-Modification Systems.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The periodontal strains used were collected during previous studies performed at the University of Cardiff (strains WW414, WW855, and WW2096), University of Bristol (WW2834, WW2842, WW2866, WW2881, WW28585, WW2903, WW2931, WW2952, WW3039, WW3040, and WW3102), King’s College London (WW5019, WW5127, and WW10960), and Queen Mary University of London (WW11663). Illumina sequencing was performed by the NUCLEUS Genomics Core Facility and data analysis used the Spectre2 and Alice2 High Performance Computing Facility at the University of Leicester. This work was in part funded by a grant from the BBSRC (BB/N002903/1) to M.R.O.
