design: Genomic DNA was extracted from the Bacillus licheniformis isolate. Libraries were constructed for a hybrid sequencing approach to achieve a complete genome assembly. Short-read libraries were prepared for the Illumina platform to provide high-accuracy base calling. Long-read libraries were prepared for the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platform to facilitate gap closure and scaffold assembly. Both libraries were sequenced to a depth of 100X. Raw data were quality controlled to remove adapters and low-quality bases prior to hybrid assembly.
