Comparative Genomics of Microbial Strains

Comparing microbial genomes to understand what sets strains apart.

Genome assembly

Comparison starts from assembled genomes of good quality.

Genome-wide comparison places strains in a phylogeny and shows how closely they are related.

A pangenome separates the core genome, shared by all strains, from the accessory genome, which differs between them.

SNPs and ANI measure how far strains have diverged at sequence level.

Differences are interpreted in terms of function, so that they mean something for your process.

Comparative results support the selection of strains for an application.

Genome-level identity makes it possible to trace a strain through a production chain.

The deliverables of each project are defined with you.
