Unprecedented genetic diversity suggests importance of understudied PFam54 paralogs to Lyme borreliosis spirochetes

This data accompanies the pre-print found here DOI: 10.22541/au.169323152.28257088/v1 The goal of the project was to understand what level of standing variation exists on the PFam54 gene array in the three major Borrelia species which can cause Lyme borreliosis in humans across Eurasia (Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia bavariensis, and Borrelia garinii). The data uploaded here refers to all of the raw inputs for the various analyses done (i.e., phylogenetic reconstruction, selection analysis) and all outputs of these analyses. The basis of the analysis is utilizing whole genome sequencing data produced as part of a larger project for samples described in a previous publication: DOI: 10.1111/mec.16805.
