Совершенствование методики SNP-типирования штаммов Vibrio cholerae на основе анализа первичных данных полногеномного секвенирования

Aim . To improve the method of the quality assessment of single nucleotide polymorphisms, which are used for SNP-typing, based on the analysis of their distribution in the primary data of whole genome sequencing (reads). Materials and methods . Data of the whole genome sequencing of 56 Vibrio cholerae strains obtained using different types of sequencers were used. The software was developed using Java programming language. Cluster analysis and construction of the dendrogram were performed with the author's software using the UPGMA method. Results and discussion . The «instability» of detection the number of SNP in the genome of cholera causative agent was shown. The method of selection of the SNP list for phylogenetic analysis based on the analysis of the primary data of whole genome sequencing (reads), has been developed. The method of using «control genomes» for cluster analysis of whole genome sequencing data has been proposed. Conclusion . The list of 3198 «stable SNP» for phylogenetic analysis has been composed. Genetic affinity between the non-toxigenic strains that contain the tcpA gene ( ctxAB – tcpA + ) and preCTX -strains of V. cholerae was shown.
