Synthetic Datasets for Evaluation of Spa-Typing Methods

This dataset contains 3 sets of wgsim simulated reads (paired-end, 100 bp length) of MRSA. Synthetic dataset A contains reads sampled from a reference genome where the X region was artificially replaced with the t032 spa-type sequence. The reads contain no errors. Synthetic dataset B contains reads sampled from a reference genome where the X region was artificially replaced with the t032 spa-type sequence. The reads contain point mutation errors. Synthetic dataset C contains reads sampled from a reference genome where the X region was artificially replaced with a specific spa-type sequence. The reads contain point mutation errors.
