Phylogenetic Analysis Dataset for Detecting Polyphyletic Sequence Types

A dataset used for phylogenetic analysis and the detection of polyphyletic sequence types (STs), defined as being distributed in more than one group of prefix size 3 (sublineages). The dataset was authored by Federica Palma and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on June 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Detecting polyphyletic sequence types based on their distribution across sublineages.
• Conducting phylogenetic analysis of microbial sequence typing data.
• Validating clustering algorithms for grouping sequence types by prefix size.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 54.7 KB, making it quick to download and inspect.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
