The tree is created using UPGMA and distances shown are computed based on pairwise allelic differences (hamming distance). Missing genes are not included in the count.
1928's analysis of an outbreak: Salmonella enterica
The ambition with 1928’s outbreak analyses is to reproduce results from scientific studies and highlight the quality of the results generated by the 1928 platform.
In order to demonstrate the accuracy of outbreak analysis with the 1928 platform, a phylogenetic tree is created from an outbreak of Salmonella enterica. The tree shown in the figure above is generated using the 1928 analysis platform.
In this analysis, 1928 reproduces results from the scientific paper Characterization of Foodborne Outbreaks of Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis with Whole-Genome Sequencing Single Nucleotide Polymorphism-Based Analysis for Surveillance and Outbreak Detection (pmid: 26269623) by A.J. Taylor, V. Lappi, W.J. Wolfgang, P. Lapierre, M.J. Palumbo, C. Medus, D. Boxrud.
The 1928 Salmonella enterica cgMLST schema is created from 600 reference genomes giving the scheme 2842 core genes. All genes included in the schema are present in at least 95% of reference genomes.
