Abstract excerpt
As an issue of biosecurity, species-specific genetic markers have been well characterized. However, Bacillus anthracis strain-specific information is currently not sufficient for traceability to identify the origin of the strain. By using genome-wide screening using short read mapping, we identified strain-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among B. anthracis strains including Japanese isolates, and...
