A Schema for Digitized Surface Swab Site Metadata in Open-Source DNA Sequence Databases

ABSTRACT Large, open-source DNA sequence databases have been generated, in part, through the collection of microbial pathogens by swabbing surfaces in built environments. Analyzing these data in aggregate through public health surveillance requires digitization of the complex, domain-specific metada...
