Introduction
Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST ) is a widely used method of characterization of bacterial isolates. It has been applied to over 50,000 isolates in over 50 different species and its results are freely available from the pubMLST website. This is the homepage of SimMLST, a coalescent method to jointly simulate MLST data and the clonal genealogy that gave rise to the sample. Such simulations are useful to make interpretations about real datasets.
Registration
Before you start using SimMLST, it would be very helpful if you could register by clicking here. This is optional, however this information is useful for us in planning possible future upgrades of the software. Registered users will also be kept informed of updates via email. Thank you.
Getting help
SimMLST is described in Didelot, Lawson and Falush (2009) which is the appropriate citation for this program. The user guide for SimMLST is available here. A technical description of the algorithm implemented in SimMLST is available here.
If you have a question or a problem that is not discussed in the user guide, please get in touch.
