Reference-free clustering as an epidemiological tool for <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> lineage typing

2026-02-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is widely used in the epidemiological investigation of recent transmission events, resulting in high-resolution strain typing. Accurate and rapid strain typing is essential for informing outbreak investigations and guiding tuberculosis control strategies. However, the gold-standard reference-guided SNP-calling pipeline currently...
