Abstract

Inability to standardize the bioinformatic data produced by whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been a barrier to its widespread use in tuberculosis phylogenetics. The aim of this study was to carry out a phylogenetic analysis of tuberculosis in Wales, using Ridom Seqsphere software for core genome ML...
