title: Pathogen: clinical or host-associated sample from Yersinia pestis
organism: Yersinia pestis
description: This project is dedicated to the whole-genome sequencing of Yersinia pestis isolates to support public health surveillance, outbreak investigation, and evolutionary studies. Isolates are sourced from a variety of hosts and environments, including human cases and wildlife reservoirs. Due to the pathogenic nature of Y. pestis, all laboratory work, including DNA extraction and library preparation, is conducted in a BSL-3 facility following strict biosafety protocols. The resulting genomic data will contribute to a better understanding of Y. pestis transmission dynamics, population structure, and its persistence in enzootic and epizootic cycles.
