The single-species metagenome: subtyping Staphylococcus aureus core genome sequences from shotgun metagenomic data

In this study we developed a genome-based method for detecting Staphylococcus aureus subtypes from metagenome shotgun sequence data. We used a binomial mixture model and the coverage counts at >100,000 known S. aureus SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) sites derived from prior comparative genom...
