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 Yersenia pestis, Bacillus anthracis, Escherichia coli, Burkholderia pseudomallei, and Francisella tularensis. 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.
