A multigene approach to phylogenetic analysis using the genus Mycobacterium as a model
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Advances in DNA sequencing and the increasing number of sequences available in databases have greatly enhanced the bacterial identification process. Several species within the genus Mycobacterium cause serious human and animal diseases. In order to assess their relative positions in the evolutionary process, four gene fragments, from the 16S rRNA (564 bp), hsp65 (420 bp), rpoB (396 bp) and sod (408 bp) genes,...
