Two more wgMLST schemas available

We are pleased to announce two new wgMLST schemas for Burkholderia cepacia complex and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This brings the total of available wgMLST schemas to twenty-three.

These extra schemas will make whole genome sequence typing even easier for BioNumerics users, cementing its reputation as the ultimate microbial data analysis software.

The Burkholderia cepacia complex wgMLST schema

Burkholderia cepacia complex wgMLST schema

wgMLST loci: 45,465

MLST loci: 7

Total loci: 45,472

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa wgMLST schema

Pseudomonas aeruginosa wgMLST schema

wgMLST loci: 15,136

MLST loci: 7

Total loci: 15,143

The results

Both whole-genome multi-locus sequence typing schemas have been evaluated and thoroughly tested by our biologists and collaborators. Great care has been taken to create an analysis procedure that minimizes sample artifacts, while maintaining an enormous discriminatory power that supersedes the core genome schema or other current typing standards.
