Staphylococcus Aureus ST71 Genomic Data and Alignments

Supplementary genomic data for a study on the emergence of Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 71. The 8.6 MB ZIP archive contains genome sequences, ONT sequencing statistics, cgMLST data, and gene alignments around recombination breakpoints. Author Stefan Monecke uploaded this CC-BY-4.0 licensed material to figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the provided genome sequences of study strains.
• Assessing sequencing quality and characteristics using the ONT sequencing statistics.
• Core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) analysis based on the supplied cgMLST data.
• Investigating homologous recombination events using the gene alignments around the two identified breakpoints.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a specific, peer-reviewed research question about a bacterial sequence type.
• Includes multiple complementary data types: raw sequences, processed statistics, typing data, and sequence alignments.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Row counts and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The 8.6 MB size suggests a small-scale study, potentially limiting statistical power for some analyses.
