Clinical value of whole-genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The Lancet. Infectious diseases - 1 Sept 2015

Takiff Howard E, Feo Oscar

Abstract excerpt

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is now common as a result of new technologies that can rapidly sequence a complete bacterial genome for US$500 or less. Many studies have addressed questions about tuberculosis with WGS, and knowing the sequence of the entire genome, rather than only a few fragments, has greatly increased the precision of molecular epidemiology and contact tracing. Additionally, topics such as the...
