Abstract excerpt
Homoplasic SNPs are considered important signatures of strong (positive) selective pressure, and hence of adaptive evolution for clinically relevant traits such as antibiotic resistance and virulence. Here we present a new tool, SNPPar, for efficient detection and analysis of homoplasic SNPs from large whole genome sequencing datasets (>1000 isolates and/or >100 000 SNPs). SNPPar takes as input an SNP alignment,...
