1st in a 4-part BRC-Analytics series on Cyclospora outbreak analysis: what genomes, genotyping panels and sequencing data exist, and how an independent open implementation of the public 8-marker method is built and validated in Galaxy. gxy.io/blog/Cyclospora1 #UseGalaxy #GalaxyProject

Assembly quality across the 49 public C. cayetanensis assemblies. None is chromosome-level and the median assembly is in 1,391 pieces.

The CDC Cyclospora eight-marker genotyping panel: each amplicon with its primers, SNP count and haplotype-calling windows.

Stage-by-stage comparison of the legacy R implementation and PyEuk.

PyEuk's distance and clustering path, from haplotype sheet to outbreak clusters.
