This repository contain high quality data generated for the purposes of: 1) providing Diagnostic Genetics and Genomics graduate students at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center School of Health Professions with hands on technical training in the use of various high throughput genome sequencing platforms and associated bioinformatics analysis. We primarily use Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) as a model system; and 2) To understand genomic diversity and evolution of virulence in this emerging pathogen via systematic sequencing of the genomes and transcriptomes of clinical and veterinary SDSE isolates.

Instructors, educators, and researchers are welcome to contribute datasets, analysis pipelines, and other education materials useful for pathogen genomics education.
