Project name: Citrobacter rodentium ICC168

Description: Sequencing data monitoring the diversity of a population of the diarrhea causing bacterium Citrobacter rodentium during colonization of its natural host, mice. To enable monitoring during infection we introduced short, random, ~20 nucleotide DNA tags (barcodes) at a neutral location in the C. rodentium genome. We monitored barcode diversity using high-throughput DNA sequencing and the STAMP (Sequence Tag-based Analysis of Microbial Populations) computational framework. We also performed whole genome sequencing on individual isolates to monitor genetic changes that occurred during infection.
