Getting started with the Large MLST Scheme tools

There are several ways to create Large MLST Schemes in the Microbial Genomics Module.

After a scheme has been obtained the following tools can be used together with the schemes.

These tools are described in more detail in the following sections.

Finally, in order to be able to use the Large MLST Schemes outside of the Workbench, a Large MLST Scheme can be exported by clicking on the Export button and selecting Large MLST Scheme. To keep the data manageable, this will export the Large MLST Scheme into a single zip file containing two text files in tsv format, one with the sequence type definitions and sequence type metadata and the second file containing locus metadata, and one fasta file per locus, corresponding to the format used for importing Large MLST Schemes.
