The Effects of Signal Erosion and Core Genome Reduction on the Identification of Diagnostic Markers

ABSTRACT Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data are commonly used to design diagnostic targets for the identification of bacterial pathogens. To do this effectively, genomics databases must be comprehensive to identify the strict core genome that is specific to the target pathogen. As additional genomes a...
