Abstract

The 32-bit Windows application START is implemented using Visual Basic and C(++) and performs analyses to aid in the investigation of bacterial population structure using multilocus sequence data. These analyses include data summary, lineage assignment, and tests for recombination and selection.

Availability: START is available at http://outbreak.ceid.ox.ac.uk/software.htm.
