Class: MLST

comment "MLST stands for Multilocus Sequence Typing and it is a sequence based typing method that traditionally focused on the sequence of seven housekeeping loci to determine the phylogenetic relationships between strains of the same species. The novel Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) techniques are bringing new approaches to MLST moving from traditional 7-loci approches to schemas containing up to thousands of genes (see rMLST, wgMLST,cgMLST) Maiden MC, Bygraves JA, Feil E et al.
