Genome sequencing is an important tool in clinical microbiology, as it allows in-depth characterization of isolates of interest and can propel genome-based surveillance studies. Such studies can benefit from
ad hoc
methods of sample selection to capture the genomic diversity present in a data set.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
