The multilocus sequence typing network -- mlst.net
URL:
What you can do:
Perform molecular typing for bacterial and fungal pathogens.
Highlights:
- Multilocus sequence typing (MLST), which defines strains from the sequences at seven house-keeping loci, has become the method of choice for molecular typing of many bacterial and fungal pathogens (and non-pathogens).
- MLST schemes and strain databases are available for a growing number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
- This Web server provides the gateway to a number of MLST schemes, each of which contain a set of tools for the initial characterization of strains, and methods for relating query strains to other strains of the species, including clustering based on differences in allelic profiles, phylogenetic trees based on concatenated sequences, and a recently developed method (eBURST) for identifying clonal complexes within a species and displaying the overall structure of the population.
