Whole-Genome Sequence Datasets: A Powerful Resource for the Food Microbiology Laboratory Toolbox

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) technologies are rapidly being adopted for routine use in food microbiology laboratories worldwide. Examples of how WGS is used to support food safety testing include gene marker discovery (e.g., virulence and anti-microbial resistance gene determination) and high-resol...
