Reference datasets

EURL-Campylobacter has released three curated datasets for validation of bioinformatic workflows used for whole-genome sequencing analysis of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.

The datasets were prepared by EURL-Campylobacter at the Swedish Veterinary Agency (SVA), to support
validation of species identification, MLST sequence type assignment, cgMLST locus calling, robustness across sequencing data types, contamination detection, QC assessment and reportability decisions.

The reportable target species for this validation resource are:
Campylobacter jejuni
Campylobacter coli

Antimicrobial resistance prediction is not included in the validation scope of this release and should be
validated separately if used for accredited reporting.

This release contains three dataset packages:
EURLCAMPY_WGSVAL_D1_v1.tar.gz
EURLCAMPY_WGSVAL_D2_v1.tar.gz
EURLCAMPY_WGSVAL_D3_v1.tar.gz

Each package contains paired-end Illumina FASTQ files, metadata, expected results, QC summaries, curation
evidence, file manifests, checksums, a validation profile and dataset-specific documentation.

The datasets have been published on Zenodo and can be downloaded using the link below:
