Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Based on large genomic sequence polymorphisms, several haplotypes belonging to two major lineages of the human pathogen Mycobacterium ulcerans could be distinguished among patient isolates from various geographic origins. However, the biological relevance of insertional/deletional diversity is not understood. METHODOLOGY: Using comparative genomics, we have investigated the genes located in regions of...
