Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in DNA sequencing have led to the discovery of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). This genetic variation has changed our understanding of the differences and phylogenetic relationships between strains. Many of these mutations can serve as phylogenetic markers for strain classification, while others cause drug...
