PHYLOViZ tutorial

This tutorial makes use of MultiLocus Sequence Type (MLST) data for Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis from the publication :

MMcMillan DJ, Bessen DE, Pinho M, Ford C, Hall GS, et al. (2010) Population Genetics of Streptococcus dysgalactiae Subspecies equisimilis Reveals Widely Dispersed Clones and Extensive Recombination. PLoS ONE 5(7): e11741. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0011741

The Alellic profile data represents all the available MLST Sequence Types (STs) and the Accessory Data contains data for the various collections presented in the article about emm type, group carbohydrate and isolation locale (country).
