The Bioinformatics Resource for Oral Pathogens (BROP) contains tools for genomics of oral pathogens including Genome Viewer, GOAL (genome wide ORF alignment), an oral pathogen microarray database, an entrez counter, oral pathogen specific BLAST, and a codon usage database.
MLST (Multi Locus Sequence Typing) is a nucleotide sequence based approach for the unambiguous characterisation of isolates of bacteria and other organisms using the sequences of internal fragments of seven house-keeping genes.
