Whole-Genome sequencing in routine <i>Mycobacterium bovis</i> epidemiology - scoping the potential.

"bovine tuberculosis genome epidemiology openaccessembargo 0 all sequence data have been deposited in the european nucleotide archive - specifically bioprojects prjeb65421 prjna925930 prjeb9025.; from previous m bovis wgs studies (ebi bioproject prjeb9025 and ncbi bioproject prjna925930) we selected 29 whole-genome sequences of isolates of the 1 140 molecular type; in addition we selected 119 isolates from our archive which are publicly available as ebi bioproject prjeb65421. sample meta-data for both data sets are presented in supplementary data 1.; mean base quality scores were 34 5 (s d 1 14); see supplementary data 2 for details.; genome locations of all snps relative to af2122/97 are detailed in supplementary data 3."
