Whole-genome analysis of mycobacteria from birds at the San Diego Zoo.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Pfeiffer Wayne, Braun Josephine, Burchell Jennifer, Witte Carmel L, Rideout Bruce A

Abstract excerpt

METHODS: Mycobacteria isolated from more than 100 birds diagnosed with avian mycobacteriosis at the San Diego Zoo and its Safari Park were cultured postmortem and had their whole genomes sequenced. Computational workflows were developed and applied to identify the mycobacterial species in each DNA sample, to find single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between samples of the same species, to further differentiate...
