Installation and setup of the Spa typing plugin

The Spa typing plugin offers extra functionality to BioNumerics to do Spa typing for Staphylococcus aureus. Sequences in the database can be screened for known spa repeats and types downloaded from the SpaServer, data can be submitted to the SpaServer via a synchronization process, and entries can be clustered based on the spa types. In this tutorial the installation of the Spa typing plugin in a new database is covered.
