Maast: genotyping thousands of microbial strains efficiently.
Genome biology - 10 Aug 2023

Abstract excerpt
Existing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping algorithms do not scale for species with thousands of sequenced strains, nor do they account for conspecific redundancy. Here we present a bioinformatics tool, Maast, which empowers population genetic meta-analysis of microbes at an unrivaled scale. Maast implements a novel algorithm to heuristically identify a minimal set of diverse conspecific genomes,...
