Staphylococcus aureus Genome sequencing and assembly

The main questions we set out to address in this study are 1) what are the phylogenetic relationships of individual S. aureus strains within- and across-host, 2) how do they disseminate and evolve within-host and 3) how do their metabolic functions change to adapt to new niches; all this in the context of the role of S. aureus in the onset of Atopic Dermatitis.
