Benchmark datasets for phylogenomic pipeline validation, applications for foodborne pathogen surveillance

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: As next generation sequence technology has advanced, there have been parallel advances in genome-scale analysis programs for determining evolutionary relationships as proxies for epidemiological relationship in public health. Most new programs skip traditional steps of ortholog determination and multi-gene alignment, instead identifying variants across a set of genomes, then summarizing results in a...
