Analysis of Genome-Wide Mutational Dependence in Naturally Evolving Mycobacterium tuberculosis Populations.

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic microorganisms are in a perpetual struggle for survival in changing host environments, where host pressures necessitate changes in pathogen virulence, antibiotic resistance, or transmissibility. The genetic basis of phenotypic adaptation by pathogens is difficult to study in vivo. In this work, we develop a phylogenetic method to detect genetic dependencies that promote pathogen adaptation using 31,428...
