Optimal estimation of transposition rates of insertion sequences for molecular epidemiology.

Statistics in medicine - 30 Aug 2001

Tanaka M M, Rosenberg N A

Abstract excerpt

Outbreaks of infectious disease can be confirmed by identifying clusters of DNA fingerprints among bacterial isolates from infected individuals. This procedure makes assumptions about the underlying properties of the genetic marker used for fingerprinting. In particular, it requires that each fingerprint changes sufficiently slowly within an individual that isolates from separate individuals infected by the same...
