This database contains genome sequence data assembled from public archives analysed by whole genome MLST (wgMLST).

The Mycobacteria MLST scheme has been developed by Granger Sutton and colleagues at the J. Craig Venter Institute, MD, USA, and has been funded in whole or part with federal funds from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services under Award Number U19AI110819. The scheme has been designed for use with WGS data so no primer sequences are currently available.

Typing

The typing database contains nomenclature - allele definitions that provide an identifier for every unique allele sequence, and MLST profiles that index each unique combination of alleles with a sequence type (ST).

Isolate collection

The isolate database consists of isolate records containing provenance and phenotype information linked to molecular typing information. These records may also include genome assemblies.

Genome collection

A subset of records within the isolate database may contain genomes assemblies. You can access these from the isolate database by filtering on sequence bin size in a query.
