Figure 1From: Identification of polymorphic tandem repeats by direct comparison of genome sequence from different bacterial strains : a web-based resourceThe procedure to find polymorphic tandem repeats for use in strain typing. The steps leading from the release of a complete (or incomplete) genome sequence to the validation of new polymorphic markers are described. The purpose of the web-based tools developed is to facilitate the bioinformatics data-management steps.Back to article page
