Abstract
High throughput sequencing (HTS) provides researchers the ultimate tool
to analyze outbreaks and study bacterial determinants of virulence and
resistance. However data analysis is demanding in computational terms
and expertise. We propose to implement a user-friendly web system and
novel analysis algorithms needed to facilitate the analysis and provide
the essential data sharing tools necessary for its effective use in the
field of Molecular Epidemiology.
