Phylogenetic detection of horizontal gene transfer during the step-wise genesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In the past decade, the availability of complete genome sequence data has greatly facilitated comparative genomic research aimed at addressing genetic variability within species. More recently, analysis across species has become feasible, especially in genera where genome sequencing projects of multiple species have been initiated. To understand the genesis of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
