contents MicroTrace is an open-source R tool that performs SNP-based hierarchical clustering to detect potential transmission clusters from pathogen whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. Designed for epidemiologists, microbiologists, and genomic surveillance teams, it processes SNP distance matrices and outputs dendrograms and cluster tables with optional metadata integration. MicroTrace enables reproducible outbreak detection workflows with minimal setup.
