A model-based Bayesian estimation of the rate of evolution of VNTR loci in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Jan 2012

Aandahl R Zachariah, Reyes Josephine F, Sisson Scott A, Tanaka Mark M

Abstract excerpt

Variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTR) typing is widely used for studying the bacterial cause of tuberculosis. Knowledge of the rate of mutation of VNTR loci facilitates the study of the evolution and epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous studies have applied population genetic...
