DOI: 10.1186/s12859-018-2225-z
Abstract: BackgroundTargeted PCR amplicon sequencing (TAS) techniques provide a sensitive, scalable, and cost-effective way to query and identify closely related bacterial species and strains. Typically, this is accomplished by targeting housekeeping genes that provide resolution down… read more here.
