Lactobacillus species taxonomy

This repository contains code to analyze the species-level taxonomy of the Lactobacillus Genus Complex (families Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae). The input for these analyses is generated by the legen pipeline. The data folder contains all necessary files to run the analyses so it is not required to run the legen pipeline yourself in order to repeat and/or play around with the data analysis.

The results of this analysis have been published in mSystems:
