Welcome to the taranis wiki!
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is replacing classical Sanger sequencing. The cost reduction on Hardware computers and the increasing speed evolution of NGS makes whole genome sequencing (WGS) a very attractive alternative, for routine analyses, on outbreak surveillance.
From WGS data, there are two main methodologies to obtain interpretable information:
- whole genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (wgSNP) analysis
- or whole genome Multi Locus Sequence Typing (wgMLST) analysis.
Taranis uses mainly the wgMLST, but also provide information about the SNP.
