Citation

How to cite pathotypr, the DOIs for the software and marker panels, and the licence.

If pathotypr contributed to your results, please cite the paper. Citing the software DOI as well lets readers retrieve the exact marker panels and model you ran against.

Already cited the preprint?

The same work was first posted on bioRxiv as Pathotypr: harmonised MTBC lineage assignment and resistance-associated variant detection for genomic surveillance, doi: 10.64898/2026.03.24.714002. Please cite the published article above in new work.

Cite the software and markers

The archived release, including the marker panels and the trained model, has its own DOI:

10.5281/zenodo.19210043

Record the version you ran

Marker panels change between releases, so a lineage or resistance call is only reproducible alongside the version that produced it. pathotypr --version prints it, and every output file records it in its header.

The repository also ships a CITATION.cff file, so GitHub's Cite this repository button always returns an up-to-date reference.
