serotools 0.1.1

This package serves as a toolkit and repository for the White-Kauffmann-Le Minor scheme for Salmonella serotyping, which defines nomenclature and antigenic factors for each recognized serovar. The scheme is made available in multiple formats, along with methods for querying, comparing, and predicting serovar names and antigenic formulae.
