Genome–scale approach to study the genetic relatedness among Brucella melitensis strains - wgMLST schema for Brucella melitensis

<strong>wgMLST schema for <em>Brucella melitensis</em></strong> <strong>Schema creation</strong> The wgMLST schema was created using the 60 complete genomes of <em>Brucella melitensis </em>available at NCBI, as of January 2019, with the chewBBACA v2.0.11 suite (https://github.com/B-UMMI/chewBBACA), using a training file generated by Prodigal v2.6.3 from the <em>B. melitensis</em> 16M reference genome (RefSeq Accession NC_003317 and NC_003318). For curation and validation, the wgMLST schema was further populated with 212 additional draft genomes: 157 draft genomes (downloaded from NCBI in January 2019) and 55 draft genomes assembled with INNUca v3.1 (PRJEB30030). File 'Bmelitensis_wgMLST_2656_schema.tar.gz' contains the wgMLST schema formatted for chewBBACA and includes a total of 2656 loci.
