Polymorphism of Variable-Number Tandem Repeats at Multiple Loci in<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
1 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Genotyping based on variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) is currently a very promising tool for studying the molecular epidemiology and phylogeny of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here we investigate the polymorphisms of 48 loci of direct or tandem repeats in M. tuberculosis previously identified by our group. Thirty-nine loci, including nine novel ones, were polymorphic. Ten VNTR loci had high allelic diversity...
