Hello SISTR users and in silico serotypers!

Do you have any Salmonella genomes with trustworthy serovar info? Would you like SISTR to provide better serovar predictions? You can help by contributing those genomes along with their serovar info!

SISTR relies on a database of cgMLST allelic profiles from Salmonella genomes with validated serovar info to make accurate serovar predictions (since antigenic determinations from a handful of genes like wzx or fliC can only get you so far). So the more genomes there are in the SISTR database, the more accurate the serovar predictions, especially if those genomes belong to uncommon or rare serovars or lineages.

Help us improve SISTR serovar predictions! Contribute Salmonella genomes to SISTR!

Thanks,
SISTR development team

You can contribute by:

  • linking to your genome on NCBI SRA/BioSample/Assembly
  • contacting the authors of SISTR
