Abstract excerpt
Genetic differences between different Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains determine their ability to transmit within different host populations, their latency times, and their drug resistance profiles. Said differences usually emerge through de novo mutations and are maintained or discarded by the balance of evolutionary forces. Using a dataset of ∼5,000 strains representing global MTBC diversity,...
