Trich-tracker - a practical tool to trace Trichinella spiralis transmission based on rapid, cost-effective sampling of genome-wide genetic variation.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular epidemiology using traditional sequencing has been notoriously difficult in inbred parasites due to a lack of genetic variation available for discriminating among parasites. Next generation sequencing techniques offer a solution to this problem by increasing the number of loci that can be sequenced. Here, we introduce Trich-tracker, a tool that makes efficient use of diagnostic variation distributed...
