Variant site strain typer (VaST): efficient strain typing using a minimal number of variant genomic sites
Abstract Background Targeted PCR amplicon sequencing (TAS) techniques provide a sensitive, scalable, and cost-effective way to query and identify closely related bacterial species and strains. Typically, this is accomplished by targeting housekeeping genes that provide resolution down to the family,...
