choosing a good representative genome subset I'm trying to build a genomic database for DNA alignments.
I started with NCBI accessions, but the data is very multiplicative, so I want to use subset of [max] N different strains for each specie.
my question is: I can i obtain the minimal N that the samples will be diverse enough and will cover the specie good?
Check out the progenomes database: http://progenomes.embl.de/
