Toxigenicity prediction from diphtheria tox gene sequence

The BIGSdb-Pasteur genomic platform has issued a new documentation page for interpreting diphtheria toxin tox gene alleles in BIGSdb-Pasteur.

This page guides users through the interpretation of diphtheria toxin gene data in BIGSdb-Pasteur: allele identification, toxigenicity prediction, genome assembly limitations, … and why a positive prediction does not always guarantee actual diphtheria toxin expression.
