Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reliance on complex, custom-built bioinformatics pipelines is a barrier to the implementation of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in high-burden settings in some low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Automated analysis pipelines could address this inequity in access to WGS-based diagnostics and surveillance. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the...
