Evaluating the accuracy of Listeria monocytogenes assemblies from quasimetagenomic samples using long and short reads

Abstract Background Whole genome sequencing of cultured pathogens is the state of the art public health response for the bioinformatic source tracking of illness outbreaks. Quasimetagenomics can substantially reduce the amount of culturing needed before a high quality genome can be recovered. Highly...
