Abstract excerpt
The study of genetic minority variants is fundamental to the understanding of complex processes such as evolution, fitness, transmission, virulence, heteroresistance and drug tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We evaluated the performance of the variant calling tool LoFreq to detect de novo as well as drug resistance conferring minor variants in both in silico and clinical Mtb next generation...
