A core genome MLST scheme for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato improves insights into the evolutionary history of the species complex
Hepner et al. develop a 639-loci core genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato that extends the traditional 8-loci MLST to a genomic scale. The cgMLST scheme gains higher reliability, robustness, and resolution, enabling improved insights into the evolutionary history of the species complex.
