Abstract excerpt
Whole genome sequence (WGS) data could transform our ability to attribute individuals to source populations. However, methods that efficiently mine these data are yet to be developed. We present a minimal multilocus distance (MMD) method which rapidly deals with these large data sets as well as methods for optimally selecting loci. This was applied on WGS data to determine the source of human campylobacteriosis,...
