SNIT: SNP identification for strain typing

Table 2 Summary of the results for five different bacterial species

Species	No. of Genomes	Combined Size (Mbp)	Time (min)	Accuracy (%)
Bacillus anthracis	7	36	4	100
Francisella tularensis	11	22	3	100
Shigella flexneri	4	18	2	100
Burkholderia mallei	10	59	19	100
Burkholderia pseudomallei	20	144	45	75

Accuracy is defined as the percentage of genomes for which the correct closest neighbors were identified based on published phylogenies for the species. The runs were performed using a single processor on a 3.6 GHz dual processor system with 4 GB RAM.
