Optional Bioinformatics
•
Instructions for application of bioinformatics analysis were
developed for the
Variola
and
Fransicella
standards
•
These instruction were refined and added as an option to
wet testing of Group 2 organisms (cultivatable soil, water,
and air bacteria)
•
Only DNA from Group 1 are recommended for evaluation
regardless of bioinformatics analysis

Streamlined EOP
•
Number of species DNA required for wet testing:
reduced from 86 to 49 species (reduced by 43%)
•
Number of species DNA required for wet testing in
tandem with bioinformatic analysis:
reduced from 86 to 12 species (reduced by 86%)
