Genomic DNA was extracted from B. subtilis natto BEST195 isolated from Miyagino-based natto, and B. subtilis Marburg 168 (1A1). The short paired-end reads were generated by the Illumina genome analyzer GA2. The generated paired-end reads were mapped to the Marburg 168 reference genome using MAQ software. At each base, a quality score was statistically calculated based on the reads using MAQ. The quality scores describe the confidence that the base is correctly called.
