Abstract excerpt
Comparative-omics will identify a multitude of markers that can be used for intraspecific discrimination between strains of bacteria. It seems intuitive that with this plethora of markers we can construct higher resolution subtyping assays using discrete markers to define strain "barcodes." Unfortunately, with each new marker added to an assay, overall assay robustness declines because errors are compounded...
