Download Large MLST Scheme

To run the Download Large MLST Scheme tool choose:

        Microbial Genomics Module (Image mgm_folder_closed_flat_16_h_p) | Databases (Image typing_epi_folder_closed_16_h_p) | Large MLST (Image large_mlst_open_16_h_p) | Download Large MLST Scheme (Image dl_large_mlst_16_h_p)

Use the Schemes to download selector to choose which schemes to download from PubMLST.

Most of the schemes offered for download by PubMLST are classic (7-gene) schemes, but there are also core genome schemes available for several species, e.g.: Salmonella spp., N. gonorrhoeae, N. Meningitis, C. Jejuni / C. Coli, C. trachomatis, Vibrio cholerae, Listeria monocytogenes.

Some of the schemes offered by PubMLST may only contain allele and locus definitions and no sequence types.

The Download metadata option makes it possible to download and extract metadata for all of the isolates for a given species in PubMLST. Note that this is a potentially very slow operation.

The Clustering parameters and Minimum Spanning Tree parameters are similar to the Create Large MLST Scheme tools (see Create Large MLST Scheme (beta))
