Lot Information

Lot 1

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) requires a Contractor to provide Whole Genome Sequencing of E. coli genomes gathered from samples across Scotland with minimum 30X Illumina (100-250nt min) coverage. The sequenced genomes will be used as part of the Work Stream 1 PATHSAFE programme.
