Metadata and sequence quality metrics of Bacillus anthracis isolates included in Forde et al., 2021, Microbial Genomics. Each isolate is attributed to a carcass ID, with the sample type indicated following the underscore (B = blood, D = soil, I = insect, S = swab, T = tissue). A number follows the sample type if more than one isolate was sequenced from the same sample.
