Table 3 DNA sequence fingerprinting scheme choices for three strains of the B. anthracis chromosomal sequence ordered in terms of increasing sequence resolution.
From: A new approach to in silico SNP detection and some new SNPs in the Bacillus anthracis genome
marker | # of markers | detectable strains | data quality |
|---|---|---|---|
Minimal set of SNPs | 2 | known | perfect |
All SNPs + VNTRs | 150+15 | some unknown | moderate |
CDSs | ~10,000 | many unknown | poor |
Sequence alignment | ~5,300,000 | arbitrary | arbitrary |
