Received on April 23, 2001
; revised on July 19, 2001
; accepted on July 19, 2001
Summary: The 32-bit Windows application START is implemented using Visual Basic and C++ and performs analyses to aid in the investigation of bacterial population structure using multilocus sequence data. These analyses include data summary, lineage assignment, and tests for recombination and selection.
Availability: START is available at http://outbreak.ceid.ox.ac.uk/software.htm.
