BIGSdb: Scalable analysis of bacterial genome variation at the population level

BMC Bioinformatics · 2010 · Vol. 11(1) · pp. 595–595

Abstract

Genomic data can be used to characterise bacterial isolates in many different ways but it can also be efficiently exploited for evolutionary or functional studies. BIGSDB represents a freely available resource that will assist the broader community in the elucidation of the structure and function of bacteria by means of a population genomics approach.
