European Anaplasma phagocytophilum genomes sequenced by Clotilde Rouxel and published in 2026. The dataset contains 12 new genomes, including four from humans and eight from cattle, doubling the number of publicly available European genomes for this bacterium. It was created using a capture-based short-read sequencing approach on samples from naturally infected hosts.
Use Cases
- Phylogenetic analysis of Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains based on comparative genomic data.
- Identifying genomic markers associated with zoonotic transmission between ruminants and humans.
- Studying the genetic divergence between European and U.S. strains of the pathogen.
- Assessing genome quality and contamination in public assemblies of this bacterial species.
Strengths
- Includes 12 newly sequenced genomes, doubling the European genomic representation for this species.
- Contains both human-derived (4) and bovine-derived (8) genomes, enabling host-specific analysis.
- Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse and sharing.
Limitations
- Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the European sampling focus.
