Towards an integrated food safety surveillance system: a simulation study to explore the potential of combining genomic and epidemiological metadata (2017)
Journal Article
Hill, A. A., Crotta, M., Wall, B., Good, L., O'Brien, S. J., & Guitian, J. (2017). Towards an integrated food safety surveillance system: a simulation study to explore the potential of combining genomic and epidemiological metadata. Royal Society Open Science, 4, https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.160721

Foodborne infection is a result of exposure to complex, dynamic food systems. The efficiency of foodborne infection is driven by ongoing shifts in genetic machinery. Next-generation sequencing technologies can provide high-fidelity data about the gen...
