Whole genome multi locus sequence typing activity This activity was developed by the New York Integrated Food Safety Center of Excellence to provide public health staff or students of public health with an understanding of how whole genome sequencing (WGS), and particularly whole genome multi locus sequence typing (wgMLST), works as a subtyping method. The activity can be taken individually or in group (3-5 people per group suggested). New York Food Safety Center of Excellence/ Cornell University
