Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bacterial pathogens exhibit an impressive amount of genomic diversity. This diversity can be informative of evolutionary adaptations, host-pathogen interactions, and disease transmission patterns. However, capturing this diversity directly from biological samples is challenging. RESULTS: We introduce a framework for understanding the within-host diversity of a pathogen using multi-locus sequence types...
