Multiple reasons may justify a need for strain typing purposes, but the most common reason is to delineate the epidemiological relationships between isolates. The availability of whole genome sequences has greatly influenced our ability to develop highly targeted and efficient strain typing methods fur these purposes. Some strain typing methods may serve dual goals: not only can they be used to discriminate between multiple isolates of a certain species, they can also aid in the recognition, identification, description and validation process of a fungal species.

基因组学时代的曲霉菌株分型。

多种原因可能证明需要进行菌株分型，但最常见的原因是描述分离株之间的流行病学关系。全基因组序列的可用性极大地影响了我们开发用于这些目的的高度靶向和有效的菌株分型方法的能力。一些菌株分型方法可能有双重目的：它们不仅可以用于区分特定物种的多个分离株，还可以帮助真菌物种的识别、鉴定、描述和验证过程。
