Handling MLST schemes

An MLST scheme () consists of the following:

• Names of the loci to be sequenced.
• For each of these loci a list of the known alleles is maintained.
• A list of the known allelic profiles or sequence types described by the scheme.

Given this information, sequence data from a new isolate can be used to assign a sequence type.

In the Multilocus Sequence Typing Module, an MLST scheme can be created in two ways:

• It can be downloaded from a database, or
• Created from sequence data imported into the workbench.

The schemes downloaded from a database will already have information about many sequence types, whereas this information needs to be accumulated by the user for self-made schemes.
