Variant Site Strain Typer (VaST): Efficient strain typing using a minimal number of variant genomic sites

This repository contains the matrices used to build the minimum spanning sets for <i>Yersenia pestis, Bacillus anthracis, </i><i>Escherichia</i><i> coli, Burkholderia pseudomallei, and Francisella tularensis. </i>The target sites identified for resolving each strain complex is also provided in the haplotype files. The loci used for the truncated, experimentally-validated panel are also listed. <br
